Schwinn Pixie

Wednesday, September 26. 2007

Cleaned it up. Replaced the original solid rubber tires with pneumatic white walls and red rims. Swapped out the seat with a red one I already had. Added a bell and a speedometer.

I was wondering where you found replacement tires for your Schwinn Pixie. I have a Pixie and I am having trouble finding a replacement for my back wheel. The front is fine. Could you tell me where you found the replacement?

Thanks

What I did was replace the original rims with ones off a newish kids Wal-mart bike someone gave me. I bought the whitewall tires from my local bike shop.

Not to disclose my age, but this little bike needs a banana seat, kinda sparkly with an attached chrome hoop for the parent to run along side, hold & teach. Training wheels were optional. I am trying to find those training wheels. There is is a cross bar accessory that is optional for a boy. I used our red pixie for all three of my children (2 boys & a girl) and am learning that I can NOT just buy a new 15" banana seat to replace the old no-longer-sparkly seat for my grandson. Any ideas on how to have a seat re-covered? Kind regards. Your time in responding is appreciated. Grandma Linda

There was another year and design of Pixie that came with a "boys bar" but not this one. This was like a co-ed frame. The chrome hoop you mention I assume was the "sissy bar" that holds up the banana seat.
You might just check with a auto upholstery shop to get a seat recovered. Other than that I don't know.
You should be able to get training wheels at your local bike shop or as a last resort Wal-Mart.
I taught my Grandson to ride buy just letting him coast on his own down a small grass hill. Once he got balancing down then pedaling came easy.
Thanks for stopping by.
