Gorgeous! My friend had a World Traveller in this color.
Dang. I needed that tool. No one could remove it. I had to do a bearing repack with the cluster in place. And the cleaning too. Got it done but it was slow going. I won’t buy iron Schwinn anymore.
I did a few like that until I got the F4😂 it does make it easier 🧑🔧👍
That was the same Plymouth that Ward Cleaver drove on 'Leave it to Beaver' Nice😏👍
Yes it was! cool that you remember seeing it on the early episodes.👍
Beautiful! Perfect! Well done! I’ll be restoring an 80’s LeTour this year. It’s red with the horrid, gaudy decals. I’m going with yellow paint and first year decals. It has Suntour Blaze components.
Nice! I did a Silver1981 Le Tour and it came out pretty factory with the exception of a cooler saddle and red bar tape I used. Good luck with your project😏👍
Best man cave ever🔥👍
😂🤣👍
Nice collection👍🚲 Love the finned beauty too
Sweet rig!
Oh my God I’m a kid again, I remember these bikes quite well, wouldn’t mind buying one for my grandson
Nice! This is my exact hobby. Vintage road bikes, though. Fun and satisfying. Schwinn with the Ashtabula crank. I learned to cable the derailleurs before installing the crank. Very tight and frustrating to cable if the crank goes in first.
Awesome! I agree it is a great hobby tinkering with the Schwinns, this old girls was particularly satisfying to restore . Thanks for sharing👍👍
My dream ride in 1971
My neighbor had the 1972 Lemon Peeler, man I was jealous👦👦😪😪
All kids in the 70's wanted one👦🙋♂️😪🤦♂️
Including me🙋♂️👀🤣
Dang. I’d sure like a Krate
I finally got mine😏🚲👍
This thing is humming 🔥👌
Thanks mark!👍🔧
I just restored my friends mom's 74 sky blue lady suburban referencing your videos on this bike. Thank you so much for posting these up because they really helped. I'll send you a couple pictures if you'd like to see the before and after.
Ok I'll bite...why is it called the cotton picker 🤨
The Krate series was offered from 1968 to 1973, the first three models had names inspired by fruits, The Orange Krate, Apple Krate and Lemon Peeler. All those models had a color that matched the fruit they were named after. In 1969 they introduced the Pea Picker in Green and in 1970 they introduced the white Cotton Picker, that color was offered for 2 years. Then in 1971 the introduced the Grey Ghost moving away from the fruit and vegetable themes. The Grey Ghost is the most sought after color based on production numbers, it was a Silver that was originally the base coat for other Schwinn colors.
Another awesome video, thanks so much for doing these. You have inspired me to tackle my 4th bike now. Also an early 70s Continental. Can you tell me which tool you used to remove the rear cassette? Looks like a bigger tool than i needed for my Suburban..
Nice! The Freewheel remover is the Park Tool F-4, you can find it on Amazon or eBay under $10 Good luck with you project👍👍🔧🔧 www.amazon.com/Park-Tool-FR-4-Freewheel-Remover/dp/B001B6LKXS/ref=sr_1_14?crid=708I0APTWGBX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ZuDDtb7wD5NwUCstBhVbU-LISz8Suo-_i5fCvssVcC8XH2oCb_J4UNxJ1W8u0nGJJq1OXbMG8zF2LLxR6x0INZdJGn2RXCiB-uskACmDa4cjcFZsxftIb2gvTs8XZzTtHr8P_uBvoJZv1rW-Zsx-YboUJlHInQHC1Q5XvnhPLdEYspyRoqcutswFEeUcOMbTUqv3dHK5qlLCTcCtk5LVwyiaZTZBb7GN7WSRl91pEWY.ZHauh6Jk5mdO9siN2rzdBPvEsou16stbZUpRFvgYFQ0&dib_tag=se&keywords=park%2Btool%2Bf-4&qid=1725450528&sprefix=park%2Btool%2Bf-4%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-14&th=1&psc=1
@@that70sschwinn Thanks so much!
I always wondered how the cable connected to the shifter very cool💪
Nice! 👍
I just purchased a schwinn sprint 10 speed bicycle. It cost me 75 dollars. This seemed like a good deal to me. It's a Large Frame. Quite Large actually. And also, I'm guessing that it's from either the late 1970's or early 1980's. The previous owner was guessing late 1970's. Yeah, it's a nice Royal Blue Color. Very Very mild amounts of rust. The rust spots are mostly on and around the brake components. It actually gives the old bicycle character imo. 😊 Also, it's an all steel frame, yet it probably only weighs in the low 30's range. Also, it has 27" tires. And they're 1-1/4" width tires. The rear tire does have dry rot in quite a few spots. So I guess I'll have to get a new tire asap. So yeah, For now, I've been just riding it up and down the little roadway Perimeter alongside my home. It rides like a Magic Carpet. That's my best personal description. Unfortunately though, Upon shifting up, I've noticed that it now won't shift back down. 😮 Seized up gearbox..? I'm not freaking out though. That'd be stupid. What can I expect..?! I would've bought it Regardless. I hadn't ridden a drop bars bicycle since 1998, 26 years ago, when I was 28. And that was a Schwinn Super Sport. I remember giving that bike to a good friend of mine as a Christmas present. I felt like I owed him a nice gift like that, because he paid for my drinks so many times when we would go out to Clubs.
Nice find, the serial number can identify the exact year, these old Schwinn bikes clean up well, the inner cables probably just need to be replaced to get the cables moving through the housing outer cables, You can also drip a little chain oil to lubricate them as is, replacing them would be ideal for like new performance. Follow the link below to see the history of the Sprint and see if you can find you model year bikehistory.org/bikes/sprint/ Thanks for watching 👍👍🔧🔧
Sweet! Hot Rod🔥
Thanks MC👍👍🔥🔥
That is a very cool Shifter👀👍
Yes they are very cool, you can see them selling from $299 and up on eBay, just saw one today for $499 👀👀🔥🔥
Pretty sweet wheels👍
They are pretty cool up close😏Thanks MC👍👍
I remember popping wheelies on my Sting-Ray, hard tail no springer fork 20" rear and front wheels...cool stuff
Nice! Thanks for sharing👍🔥
Man that's cool👍
Thanks for watching👍👍🔧🔧
Very cool set up💪
thanks for showing this. was wondering how it goes on
Thanks! I appreciate your comment👍👍🔧🔧
What’s the best way to polish my hubs Schwinn beach cruiser the front rim it’s aluminum my hands barely fit inside 😂thanks
Taking out a few spokes would be a good way, just make sure you put them back were they came from🤔 You will probably need to true the wheel after removing spokes. Or get a kid with small hands to polish it for you for $20 🤣🤣🤦♂🙋♂
I remember when I was a kid.Irvine park rented row boats and Schwinn stingray’s and I was costing down a dirt path I couldn’t stop in time and I hit two older ladies on a dubble seater bicycle and hit the back tire and thay both fell into a ditch and one of them said I just got surgery on her nose I was scared and took off with the bike loaded up in our van 😬
@@ralphbenites1312 Glad they were ok but sounds like blooper scene 🤣🤣🤦♂🤦♂
Big difference on that chrome finish🤔
Up close, there is a difference👀👍👍
LOL I was one of those kids 🤣👍
😂those were the days 👦🏻🏡
That reproduction fork looks pretty close overall🤔
From a distance, they are very close, up close, you can see the difference 🤔
It was probably a Schwinn-Pacifica cycles replica springer fork used on there 1998-99 coaster orange and apple krate replicas.
That's what I was thinking, the biggest difference I noticed, was the quality of the chrome and the rake on the forks 🤔
Nice rebuild🧰🔧
Thanks MC👍👍🧰🧰
Cool, I have never seen these without the Springer fork Nice👍
these a fun to take apart and rebuild🧰👍
That was just a standard grade 8 hardware store bolt lol
Probably got it at the local Home Depot from Earl🤣🤣
That bolt was way off 🤔
🤷🏼♂️💰
Clean and mean💪🔥
Thanks MC!👍👍🔧🔧
Nice👍
Thanks for watching Mark!👍👍🔧🔧
Pretty clean👍
Good
🙋♂👍👍
Pretty cool detail! Nice👍
Thanks for watching👍👍🔧🔧
It's funny, when I was 8 or 9 and got my Sting-Ray, probably 1971, I don't recall seeing another Sting-Ray anywhere even though they were around I'm sure. My bike was the greatest thing ever even though I knew it was second hand. I can't imagine growing up and and not having that bike. That's until I got my Varsity and never looked at the Sting-Ray again.
Very cool story! I remember the same thing in my childhood, my neighbor had the only Schwinn Krate Lemon Peeler I had ever seen whaile the rest of us kids had the Huffy and Sears bikes. I wanted a Schwinn so bad and never got one😪🏡🏡, Funny his older brother had a really nic Sky Blur Varsity that looked so grown up and too tall for an 11 year-old 👦Thanks for sharing🙋♂👍👍
@@that70sschwinn He's a little more to the story. My dad restored the Stain-Ray in the basement as a Christmas present. Us kids weren't supposed to go in his basement shop but I went in and saw the bike in pieces. I still believed in Santa Claus and went up to ask why there was a bike in the basement. My dad told me it was my Christmas present and that there really wasn't a Santa Claus. I was crushed. I think I still repress that whole situation but I liked the bike knowing my dad had rebuilt it for me. After I moved out and had my own house, I asked my parents where my Sting Ray was. They told me they sold it at a yard sale a few years back, my Varsity was sold too. I do still have my Hutch mountain bike and my Peugeot 12 speed that I bought myself in 1980.
@@richardmckrell4899 Great rest of the story, I bet that Sting-Ray looked as good as new 😁✨I’m sure dad was torn between keeping the Santa myth going or just being up front about the bike . I’m sure it was a bit awkward for both sides, but at some point, we all discover the truth about Santa🎅 You can bet that those bikes are still out there somewhere being enjoyed by a new generation 👍
@@that70sschwinn My dad didn't have to tell me Santa wasn't real, he savored every opportunity to torture and play mind games on us kids. Torturing your own kids was either normal in the 70's, or my dad was really screwed up. Still liked the bike though.
@@richardmckrell4899 😂
I also have a shwinn stationary bike from 82 light gold and it works great it was giving to me
Pretty cool! that classic Coppertone Schwinn color is iconic. Those stationary bike come with the very cool Sting-Ray Speedometer 👍👍🔧🔧
Nice!
Thanks for watching👍🔧
These Krates were the coolest👍
Thanks MC glad you like it💪
Love those raised letter slicks🔥
Yep, these are fire🔥
Unbelievable work you've done here. This bike is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment and glad you liked the content!👍👍🔧🔧
Trying to get my Schwinn front hub buffed out 1982 the outside I can clean it but inside I really can’t get my hands in thair.Schwinn 1982 5speed beach cruiser.thanks
I'm familiar with that challenge, if you can remove a couple of spokes that should give you some room to polish, I like using Simichrome paste polish, use a shop rag and wrap it around the hub axel and slide back and forth like a shoe polish trick. it get all the way around and looks pretty sweet. Here is a video that shows that at the 1:31:00 time stamp ua-cam.com/video/EnCCSU6LcLY/v-deo.html
How cool is that.
Very cool! Thanks for watching👍👍🔧🔧
Where did you get that locktite gel?
Home Depot 👍
That cleaned up pretty well so far👍
The Schwinn vintage chrome cleans up well.👍👍
