Nice bike, But i think thats a conversion kit.. I dont think its all original. Nice bike though.

on the rear end, it has the original sticker from a local phoenix schwinn dealer from 1969. if youre skeptical, i can post a pic...

 

[ricksterr1221]

I believe you, Now that IS sweet man i would leave it alone. Nice fine dude.

 

[aka_locojoe]

I wonder if the dealer did a conversion. I thought the trikes were all "Town and Country"

Nice no matter what.

 

[dumpster_diver]

The Schwinn Trikes were "Town and Country" That is an aftermarket kit that was usually put on Sears and Murray Trikes.
The front for is also bent. Keep it alive!!

 

[nugenhipsta]

well jeez, if its an aftermarket kit i might as well put the rear end on something else and make it into a regular 2-wheel hollywood...

 

[wahoonc]

I think it is a conversion too. From what I recall the rear end would be the same color as the rest of the bike. But you still got an excellent deal!

That's an AWESOME deal anways......I'd love to score something cool like that

Schwinn made the Town & County and apparently an extremely rare Fair Lady version.

Just pain the rear campus green to match and throw on 3 white walls. :mrgreen:

 

[ricksterr1221]

i THAUGHT it was a conversion kit!!!!

 

[tryker]

Here's what the Schwinn 'Town and Country' trike rear looks like as built by the factory. The label on the sprocket housing is Schwinn's patent number.
It appears that yours has an after-market conversion kit.

I'm a trike nut, so if it were mine, I'd paint it and make a chopper out of it like I did with an old Columbia 'Granny Trike' I found.
