[QUOTE="Lamm67, post: 1216256, member: 34485"] Oh trust me it isn't a daily rider but I did ride/coast down a slight paved incline on my property slowly as I have a left prosthetic device so unable to fully peddle it around with it in it's current configuration. I see schwinn bicycles similar to this and not knowing much about manufacturing these bikes in that era, would or could it be a schwinn frame with the "PENN YORK" badge attached? As today we manufacture for example 3 different lawnmowers all of the same pressed out decks, same identical motors and 3 different color schemes and brand names. So not knowing much about the bicycle manufacturing processes in that time and this may not even be a question for you however you seem knowledgeable about bicycles just maybe not the manufacturing process, this find has me intrigued into many things about this specific bicycle. As my luck has it I helped out a friend haul some scrap and an old freezer to a scrap yard located in Elmira, NY and purchased this bicycle for $15 and the applicable taxes. Thinking it was a 1950s era and possibly a schwinn got really exited to see it was manufactured or at least assembled in my birthplace hometown. I'll keep digging up any information about this particular bicycle, however to date not able to find out much of anything about the company originally manufacturing this bicycle. I'm just glad I found and saved this item of our past from the scrap heaps. Thanks for the information provided and will update as I find out more about this bicycle!!! [/QUOTE]
