    Look what I got that was put out for the garbage. ( 6 threads combined into 1 )

    A Schwinn Scrambler that's in decent shape. Just needs a good cleaning up with it only having surface rust on it..

    I believe it is a 1981. Has original tires on but they are beat.

    Wonder what it is worth?

    ............and to think by now, if I hadn't come along, it would be in the back of a garbge truck

    You might be able to get a couple bucks out of it at a scrap yard.

    the last bulk trash pick up day, a lady up the street threw away a 110 honda atc. I even knocked on the door to make sure they were throwing it away! the lady told me it doesn't run. I brought it home flipped the rotor and fired right up!
    also found a west german stingray bicycle 20 inch sissy bar and all. wish I can sell it for a few bucks.
    Oh I got $300 for the 110 bought a seat for $50, ran good good plastic, good tires. Oh what a idiot!

    Yea, it's always good to check out someones "junK" and you made out well with the "junk" 110

    I found a good Schwinn website and from what I learned that bike is worth between 75 & 100 dollars but I'm never going to get rid of it because it's all there and will shine up good and it fits adults well.

    It will be my pit bike!


    What's a "west german stingray bicycle" Is that a old schwinn also?

    Hey you guys, check out my Scrambler now! It even surprised me how nice it got!

    Selling this I would be firm on $150 and I probably wouldn't get it but then I'd tell them "Go ahead, find a 25 year old BMX bike that looks this good yet"!

    I will never sell it though.

    Sorry for the dark pictures, I must have something adjusted wrong on camera because it surely wasn't that dark out.

    That chain is pretty cool the way they made the links white and it's in great shape yet too. The paint is hardly off the chain anywhere!

    From 20' away it looks showroom, then 10' you see a few of the nicks on frame and 5' you see more but really the frame is in very decent shape too!

    Sorry, I have to do it (not being sarcastic) The Diamondback is a 1983 Turbo and the Hutch is a 1985 Pro Racer (I have had them since 83-85). Not 25 yrs old, but very cool bikes.





    Nice find you have though.

    Well they are darn close to 25 years and very nice at that!

    Were they real happening machines in thier time? What are they worth approx? Again.......very coooool! Cost of them new? They all original?

    Have any connections where I might find good original tires for mine? Mine are not bad at all cosmetic wise to look at but terrible as far as tread depth. I know the bike is worth more with the worn originals then brand new none originals so my plans are to save those and get some decent new ones on so I can ride the thing a bit. The new ones can be any brand and eventually I'll find some originals better then mine.

    They are Schwinn Scrambler's 20 X 2.125 ........any replacement suggestions? The originals look like a really decent knobby and I really didn't come across any that look like that pattern at all but they don't have to be although it would be nice. Maxxis, Kenda? Fill me in, PLEASE!

    Thanks!

    Oh, are white walls still cool, because I like them.

    Would this be cool and would it fit?

    Do all rear wheel assemblies generally bolt rigth on any BMX'er and are they all geared the same usually?
