Another new bike
« on: August 12, 2020, 05:37:34 PM »
Recently picked up this 1969 Schwinn Typhoon. Changed out the tires, trued the rims

and regreased all the bearings. Went with gumwalls instead of the original white walls for the looks. Red band Bendix 70 hub. Put about 50 miles on it already. Rolls quiet and smooth.

I went a different direction and picked this up yesterday. It's a Vision R32, I think the model year is '99. Seat cover is pretty faded so I have a new seat being made, but it'll be a few weeks.

I put some brakes on it today, had a new cable made and took it for a short spin. It's been a while since I've been on a recumbent, but it all comes back fairly quickly.
