off of CL! I payed a bit more than I would have liked, but I think we were both happy with the price.

Awesome!

take good care of those tires, you'll flop over if you've seen what re-pop ones go for.

That's a duesy of a find - does it look like it still has original paint?

 

[volksboy57]

about the paint... I am baffled! The paint is really old and there is no paint under the chipping, so It looks original; however, there is paint on the bearing cups and some overspray on the wheel adjuster screws, which makes me think it is a respray? I have not seen another schwinn with the same paint theme. I would love to see if there is another bike with the same paint.

I just got a tank for the bike! Now all I need is the seatpost clamp and a rack!

That bike was made and sold in the pits of the depression. Money was super tight. They probably paid for it with chickens and firewood! :shock: I can't believe you found a tank for that thing so quick. Gary
