So I picked up these 2 this past Sunday from a guy on CL. $40 plus he threw in a couple of nice white schwinn wheels.
First the mens:
Yes someone cut the top tube off and has hit it with a couple coats of house paint. It's my first Springer and I have another straight bar frame to transfer the parts to so I'm pumped. Serial# suggests it a 53, but checking the catalog it doesn't add up; white wheels, non skip tooth with the Springer does not seemed to be offered that year. Any help identifying would be appreciated. #H27729
Second is the women's with a couple more coats of housepaint.
This one is also supposedly a schwinn, serial # suggests it's a 52. Which I'm not buying. Rear dropouts are what I consider track ends with adjusters. Skip tooth, non painted or chromed for that matter wheelset. Looks like a set of wheels like my Hiawatha Seminole has. Most puzzling is the lack of a built in kickstand. #F15696.
I figure the Springer is worth better than $40 so the rest is bonus.
