Brian’s 1939 Schwinn DX at the 19th. annual Minnesota Antique & Classic Bicycle Club’s swap meet and show in June 2010 held at Penn Cycle in Bloomington, Minnesota. The head badge says “Co-op” and advertises a store in Superior, Wisconsin. The bike sold for 0 at the swap meet.
Interview with International Penny-farthing trick champion, Pete Matthews, 76 year old native of Dublin, Ireland. Pete’s accomplishments include being one of less than 20 people ever to have ridden across America on a high-wheeled bike from the 1880s in 2004 along with Gary Sanderson. He finished in 1st place in the Evandale Veterans (over 70) Penny Farthing Championship in Tasmania in both 2006 and 2007. In this video, Pete shows us his collection of antique bikes, and tells us about his 60+ years in cycling, trick-riding, bicycle polo, restoration, mischief, and parades. A real legend next door!
My friend bought a new house and this model of Schwinn bicycle (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Antique-Schwinn-Pixie-childs-bike-bicycle-original-16-blue-stingray-old-/300609992604?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45fdc0779c) was in it, but in an adult size. I’m wondering what the model is called and what years it was manufactured.
