Buys Of The Week-BOTW
I thought I'd try to start a new topic where anyone can share newly bought items,car related or not,it doesn't really matter to me,as we all seem to share common interests.
I was at a local Oil & Gas show yesterday with two friends and among other things,watched one of them buy this Schwinn 5spd..

Re: Buys Of The Week-BOTW
Rick,
One of our fellow members here is into 1970's bikes big-time! You might be shocked at the thousands of dollars these things can cost. Much like our beloved cars back in the day, everything not needed was removed (exhaust manifolds, SMOG systems, mechanical fuel pumps, original carburetors, original distributors, etc. ). In regards to these bikes, we all stripped off everything not needed when we were kids. I'm just amazed to hear that from time-to-time one is found with its original chain guard, front & rear fenders, seat, handlebar grips, etc.. Guess some things just don't change.  Nuch

Re: Buys Of The Week-BOTW
Seeing this bike reminded me of a childhood injury. I had a bike just like this, but mine was gold. I ran into a high curb and went lurching forward. Look closely at where the shifter is..... OUCH   Now I remember why I hated that bike. Nuch

Re: Buys Of The Week-BOTW
BOTW......Went out and braved the 24" of snow we got yesterday and headed to a swap meet. I was one of only a handfull of people there. They had about 15 vendors total..Found a vintage "Grump Lump" style scoop and a NOS Lakewood three point roll bar. The scoop came off of a 69 D/S Mustang and had been collecting dust since the early 70's....
