Interesting, a Sprint-sprocket Ramshorn. Can you tell if the chainguard actually says "()RAMS HORN()" next to Fastback?

I love the bike but there are 3 things that make me think it's a regular Fastback which someone added the Ram's bars to it.

1) the Sprint sprocket- usually found only on '66 bikes. I had an early '67 I sold a couple years ago and it had a Pat Pending Mag on it.

2) Pedals- usually rat-traps on a Rams Horn- obviously could be changed.

3) Deep tuft seat, correct for a Fastback but Ramshorns usually got the not deep tufted seat

It's really a nice survivor in any case. Have fun with it!

I would never questions your Schwinn knowlege, but both the '67 Ramshorns I had came with deep tufted seats on them. Man I miss those bikes.

Mind you, my black '67 was complete, all reconditioned and really nice...and I could not get $400 for it.

Ahh, I remember! If only I had the $$$! Thanks for the fastback though, what a sweeeet bike!

Glad you still enjoy it. That Fastback rides great, doesn't it?
