'70s Schwinn Collegiate 2-Speed

Here are some pics of my latest find! It's near mint, save for some chrome cleaning.

I need a 36 hold S-5 rim for it, as the back rim has a slight up and down warp. Cheers!

Great looking bike! It looks like the fenders need to be swapped, the fronts on the back and the backs on the front.

Thanks! I asked the guy about that as well. He said that it came from the dealership like that. I found some pictures on Google images of Collegiates, and their fenders are set up like mine. Still weird!

Heck, I could be wrong. Just "looks" kinda funny. Still a great looking bike.

Ha ha ha, like they may have cheaped out a bit, but they do go nicely with the huge reflectors. Wow, I was going to take them off, but haven't found some ratty enough in my stash to suit the job.
