I went to look at another bike and ended up coming home with this one as well.

So...where's the Schwinn? The bike pictured is from Cleveland Welding, most likely a Roadmaster with a modified intermediate bar. The 53Cw imprint clinches the ID.
What he said.
 
I don't remember ever seeing a frame with the middle tube like that. There's a lot of mismatched parts also.

Not being critical, just wondering what it is.:39:


If I had to take a stab I might guess it started out as a 1953 Shelby Traveller. I also thought the intermediate bar was peculiar, possibly doctored, but this photo reveals that there WAS a CWC frame produced with similar style.

I was just basing it off the head badge, but that could have been changed easy enough. Thanks for all the info.
