BillNuke1’s His and Hers Jetter 10-Speeds

Posted

Bill has been waiting a LONG TIME for me to post these two. This is a pair of “his and her” Jetter 10-Speeds. An OTSG First of either persuasion.

Hey Gang!

Just got these 2 babies home! They might be the first Jetters on the sight! It’s dark! It’s buggy! The pictures came out better that I thought they would! I have not had the chance to even see what the components are! Maybe Shimano Tourneys. Both bikes were hung up for a long, long time! The tires will probably hold air! The paint on both bikes is excellent…even in the dark! The bikes belonged to a husband and wife. One would think that the bikes were bought at the same time. As you can see, the paint and head badges are very different. The wife’s bike has a regular badge and the husband’s has a metal decal. The husband’s has a large frame. The wife’s medium-ish. The bikes are not terribly heavy. Kinda Schwinn Varsity-like.

I can not wait to ride these babies!!!

    Bill N.,
    Huge potential there!
    No contest between the “real” headbadge vs the decal…imho.
    The men’s bike reminds me of an older Sears Brittany/Dynasty, or the like.
    Any updated photos available yet?

      Hey BeaterRezQ, Funny you should mention the Sears Br/Dy connection..I just sold two of them! Now those were heavy, Ryan! I deal with old steel/iron all the time, so, these don’t seem that heavy. I have not had any time to get to these bikes! I can see ’em..maybe first part of the summer. I’ve got a number of “off brand/what the hell brand is this!” projects in front of me! Just as soon as I can I will break out the camera.
      Thanks Cam.

    BillNuke, nice find looks like a fun project. If you think that a Schwinn Varsity is “not terribly Heavy ” you must a be a strong dude 😉

    Who knew the Yankee short stop also made 10 speeds?

    Hey Doc,
    I have been very lucky…cursed…finding matching bikes. I have just found a his and hers set of Shoguns! Just put away years ago in a corner of the garage of the summer house behind some old sails and such. I just happened to be driving by a caught sight of a wheel!. “Take ’em!Nobody here is going to be riding ’em!” Got them! Going to be a fun spring project!
