The Twinn looks great, man. Awesome job! I have a '77 Twinn Deluxe in the same color blue as well! Like you, I pulled it all apart and cleaned it all up thoroughly, regreased, etc. I agree, these old Schwnn's are an absolute pleasure to work on. It's true what they say, "they don't make 'em like they used to". I ended up going with the tan gumwall tires and added a nice wicker basket to the front to match for a classy look to it and my wife and I LOVE that bike. Such an absolute pleasure to ride around town.
My dad just dropped off what looks to be a '73 Schwinn 10 speed for me that was kept in a shed by a friend of his. I'm hoping to restore it after watching this. I've never disassembled an entire bike before...any advice before I start, besides take notes and videos of the order of parts to refer back to? 😅
Hey! Sorry to see this so late. My advice is to start small with individual parts. Don’t disassemble the whole thing at once. Just get it riding then you can go deeper once ya build confidence. Good luck

Great Video. I have a 77 Schwinn Tandem. Same Color that I will be doing a light restore on this winter. Thanks for the tips.
Good luck have fun!
Beautiful bike. I have a baby blue Schwinn Deluxe tandem I’m getting ready to cleanup & your video was quite helpful. Thanks
Well done, I have a mid 60's purple tandem with a 2 speed hub in back. Maybe one day I'll give it the treatment like you did.
Bravo!!!!!!!!!
Great job
Nice bike 👍do you know what year it is?
