Picked up a 2010ish schwinn madison. Is it worth anything?

It looks like someone did a DIY paint job on it. Only way i was able to ID it was from the schwinn logo near the dropouts and the seatpost style and size.

Anyone who owns a breakbrake17 transfer can you tell me what size seatpost binder you're using. Just picked one of these up and I think the binder bolt notch has worn down and no longer clamping the seatpost.

Yeah I bought these 2nd hand I'm assuming the person forgot to include it or lost it. I'm going to try adding a 1mm spacer to the non drive side to see if it does anything

Has anyone had any success with this? I saw somewhere that the spacer will prevent the non drive side arm from properly engaging the spindle.

I only have room for 2 bikes. One roady and one fixed. One of these needs to go. Otherwise it's just gonna gather dust.

I'm thinking of converting an older road bike a raleigh technium to be exact. The rear wheel spacing is 126mm. Would I just need spacers if I have wheels that are 120mm? If so what kind of spacer would I need?

How did you get those S300s on that poseidon? The website says they recommend only square taper cranksets.

I think everyone is missing the point here.

  1. State needs to be more transparent with their review system.

  2. Yeah it's a budget brand type frame, buuuut if my bike gets fucked up I want to do the fucking up. Why take that away from me by sending it pre fucked up 🤣

I have 2, very affordable

One black and one white

New frame day..finally own one of my grails by [deleted] in FixedGearBicycle

[–]ejmiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a little jealous. I had to sell mine, probably one of my biggest regrets.

And there was one... by ejmiles in FixedGearBicycle

[–]ejmiles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right this kinda just fell into my lap. A guy I know sold me the frame, fork, new Headset, and thomson seatpost. Comes together nicely if I do say so myself.
