So I just got home from buying this "Schwinn" bicycle from a CL ad. They knew nothing about it, they thought everything was original from the person they bought it from last year. After getting a closer look it was obvious the orginal owner did alot to this bike (not good things). They completely painted over the bike with a baby blue color, they also used chrome spray paint on everything else! The rims, pedals and pedal gear, seat bar, handlebars, ect.. He even duct taped the inside of the rims. It also appears he gave it a different headbadge. That is why I am not sure if this is a Schwinn or not. The headbadge says Schwinn but it is one of the stick on types but above and below it are holes as if a bolted in type of headbadge was originally there.
I obviously want to strip this bike, I was just curious if anyone knew what this bike actually is. The seat and handlegrips are possibly original (at least old). I cannot find a serial number due to the paint job.
Here are some pictures:
