Training Wheels! Posts: 7 (05/10/11 18:07:32) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	First an formost what a great forum about Bikes. So I have received two bike's from family. One Schwinn LIL TIGER for the second one I have done some research and not much out their about parts wise to restore. It is a Sears Screamer1. So I'am just curious how much do they go for? It is rough but very complete. So besides price's as what it runs for is it worth restoring or sell it as is? Last Edited By: 1stshift 05/14/11 03:39:09. Edited 2 times.

If You decide to restore You would have No Problem Finding Everything You need on This Forum. If You are handy with tools Strip and Clean It. See Tec Tips Threads On EVAPO RUST & WOOD BLEACH. These Products are AMAZING!!! What You may think is Junk can be Brought BACK TO LIFE. I wish I had heard of them sooner. I scrapped a bunch of stuff I wish I hadn't now.

The frame looks rough , the seat and sissy bar are not correct for the bike. There are some good parts on the bike, stick shift,chain guard, handle bars etc. The Lil Tiger may bring $100 to $125. You are missing the the hardest and most expensive part of the bike the sparkled white ribbed seat. You would also need the yellow convertible bar to make it a boys bike. I have 8 Lil Tigers all in different colors. Just mu opinion. Dave

Restored 5 speed Screamers have been bringing $800-1000 range lately. I sell all the decals, and the paint to restore them. There is a ton of info and ad's for them on this site, Thanks....

I have bought and sold 7 screamer 1's in the last year. 2 I had repainted the rest I just cleaned and got a few parts. They are pretty easy to sell. It seems there is always someone that wants one. Looks like you need a seat. That will be the hardest and most costly part to find. No need to worry a red or gold seat will work fine untill you find one. I have the gold tape for the handlebars that you need. It is aftermarket but the original Hunt Wilde Gold Tape is going about 60 dollars a roll now....If you can find it.....Mine 20 dollars a roll. Here is a link to a screamer that was pretty rusty and I just cleaned it in evaporust and painted the tires. I am excited to see someone else with a screamer to restore...

Training Wheels! Posts: 7 (05/14/11 02:36:54) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Awesome Hemi Under Glass !!!! Yea I think besides paint what might be difficult to find would be a Mag wheel. Would really set it off. See what I can come up with. I have already started to get some images with PhotoShop. That is what I do Graphic Design so need to find a way to get them into decal's here is a sample Last Edited By: 1stshift 05/14/11 04:02:38. Edited 4 times.

That is if you do not have anyone close by you to do them. If they are just 2 color I would just cut them on a plotter and over lap them.
