The Schwinn Typhoon is a classic “middleweight” bike model made by Schwinn in Chicago.
It was produced roughly between 1962 and 1982, according to vintage catalog histories. The frame is “electro-forged” steel, which is very strong — vintage aficionados note these bikes are very durable.
Many Typhoons came with chrome fenders, a built-in kickstand, and stylish curved frame tubes.

Green Typhoon Variants & Color

While early catalog years (1960s) often listed red or black for the Typhoon.
But “Campus Green” (a shade of green) was also used in certain years.
There are listings for 1970 Schwinn Typhoon 3-Speed in Campus Green with original parts.
Restorers have brought back green Typhoons, repainting and re-decaling them to match original or custom looks.

Wheel Size: Many Typhoon models used 26″ × 1 3/4″ nylon cord tires.
Brakes: Often equipped with a coaster brake (pedal backwards to brake) on many older Typhoons.
Gears: Some versions had 2-speed “Automatic Kickback” hubs, and others (like the 1970) had 3-speed internal hubs.
Frame: Cantilever-style or double top-tube depending on year.
Weight: As a steel-frame middleweight cruiser, these bikes are fairly heavy by modern standards, but built to last.
