Bikes and Parts Wanted
I'm looking for this special axle washer for the New Departure Triplspeed hub. (This same washer might have been used on the two-speed version as well.) This washer (shown below) is serrated on one side and is slotted on the other side. Got one? I want to buy it. Know where I can find one? Get in touch. geoff@greenephantom.com

The projects are never done. Just when I get things mostly under control another great old Schwinn comes along that I have to own. We all know the story.
So I'm on the hunt for a few parts to finish project bikes. And I'm also hunting for a few other complete bikes to add to the collection.

Parts Wanted (excellent condition)
Tall oval Schwinn badge, white background with green letters.
Green "S" Seat, Lightweight tourist style with 9 horizontal springs, campus green.
Radiant Green jello chubby grips.
Bikes Wanted (condition 7 or better)
1959 Wasp in Radiant Green
1960 Hornet in Radiant Green
1960 / 61 Varsity 8 speed in Radiant Green, 23 inch frame
Schwinn Traveler, 23" frame, in Radiant Green, 1959 - 1962
1959 Phantom in Radiant Green would also be nice
I also buy common Schwinn bikes, singly or collections, in the general Portland Oregon area. If you're local and have a bunch of bikes you'd like gone, shoot me an email. The worst I can do is say no.
I also buy parts collections and dealer ephemera.
All other factors being equal, I can always pay more for a bike I intend to keep than one I intend to re-sell.
Have a large collection you'd like to sell? I know people who know people. If it's too big for me to take on, I can connect you with some other people in the hobby.
