Picked up these three bikes yesterday in a package deal. The Schwinn has an American chainguard crudely screwed into the rear frame, which could've came from who knows where over the past 60 or more years.
The Schwinn serial number location, at the dropouts(60 to 69?), puts it in the range of an American. But I'm really not sure. Only an "80" are visible.
Has a German Sachs? rear hub. Was hoping for three yellow bands.
Wrong forks? Wanted Ashtabula style. And head badge removed.
Any ideas? I guess it doesn't matter at this point.
Was my first bike of an antique vintage, and it was nearly free. So I'm happy to have it and will ikely go the way of the rat with it.
The 24" Huffy has a good seat.
And Schwinn Approved rack came with the green bike. Along with tires, front wheel, headset and crank bearings for the Schwinn maybe.
