    Help ID my grandfathers childhood bike (old picture)

    My grandfather passed recently and tons of old pictures have turned up. I wanted to know what this rig he had was. Might try to track one down to build for my dad. But first, what is it? I think it’s Shelby but I can’t be sure.

    1970 Schwinn ?? NOS copper tone replacement frame.

    I’ve had this kicking around for a while and wondered what it could have been a replacement for, as I don’t see copper tone available for 70. Looks like it’s never had a wheel in the dropouts. I don’t plan to keep it as I have so many other projects.

    Anybody got one of the new Orange Krates or coal krates? I have a question

    I’m currently building a replica Grey Ghost and want the drum brake front 16in wheel with the alloy rim. I contacted Schwinn to buy one and they said it was bicycle specific and I would need a serial number and date code off of one. It obviously isn’t specific so can anybody help me out?
