Schwinn scrambler

<< < (3/3)

toshiba1:
More pictures of this bike now that I received it...

Questions for the group:

1) did the 82 Scramblers always come with chrome handlebars? Or was black the only choice?
2) do the cranks look original?
3) do those grips look original?
4) seat original?

Final question is how hard is it to disassemble the wheel hubs, bearings etc? I really would like to degrease all that and get new grease in there.

I know nothing of Schwinn Scramblers, but from those pictures you posted and the advert it looks all original, even if the bars & stem (neck) are chrome.

It even looks to have original tyres and reflectors  :shocked:

It's a nice looking ride if you ask me although not a 'proper' BMX (notice the kick-stand mount under the chainstay bracket).

do you suppose it's possible that when the bike was purchased, the owner requested chrome instead of black? I mean, was that something you could request?
