This is a barn find that i got my self for christmas hung it from the ceiling and forgot about it when i realized the overload tube was hard to find. Looks like it will clean up ok. Are these worth putting the money into them? What tire options are out there. Thanks Richard

Looks great.Clean it up real good and then decide what you might invest in it.IMHO. 8)
 
Looks like it's mostly barn dust and a bit of surface rust, You'd be surprised what a good scrubbing and an OA bath for some parts will do.
 
Very nice find Richard! You can still find plain ordinary 20 3/8 tires new. If you want the correct tires your best bet is to look on Ebay. Be forewarned these tires can be expensive, over $100 each for a NOS slick. Try to avoid used ones unless you can see them in person. Most used tires of this age are dry rotted beyond any real usefulness. 66 was the only year that had that front sprocket and 66 & 67 had the smooth shifter arm. Looks like all you need to find is the correct sissy bar. The Fastbacks are one of my favorite bikes Schwinn ever made, I had one as a kid and still have a few now. Again thats a very nice find let us see more after you clean it up!
