I have been on here for well over a year, so it's past time for an intro. I am a longtime bicycle enthusiast. My favorite bikes are vintage Schwinns and Dynos. I have several Schwinns and a few Dynos in the stable.
 


Here is my Dyno Von Franco. Not sure what year it is, perhaps someone can advise me on how to decode the serial number to figure out the year.
 


Here is my Schwinn American with two-speed red band Bendix rear hub. The man I purchased this bike from said it was a display bike at his father-in-law's Schwinn shop for many years. The condition of the bike backs up his claim. The chrome is like new, the paint is slightly sun-faded, consistant with being on display for years. The paint has a few nicks, and the decals are faded. The seat was a dealer-add item. Schwinn built the American because people wanted an American bike with no foreign-made parts.
