Found this Schwinn Collegiate 3 today. This is all that was there. I assume the 3 is for 3 speed and it was internal since it has a coaster brake clamp? If nothing else it was worth dragging home for the head badge screws.

hey randy, I just got the male model and it has a sturmey archer 3 speed with a coaster brake. The fenders are pretty cool too!! Yours look cleaner than mine :mrgreen:

I couldn't resist making it ridable if only for a minute. Now to tear it down and stash it in the attic before the wife gets home and finds "another bike!".

Markm any idea what size rims are on it? Must be tall as the 26x1.75 I just put on clear height wise with room to spare. Plus the kickstand is too long with these tires.

Oh and the bike came with chainguard although not pictured in first pic. It was mangled bad so I threw it out first thing. I dug it out of trash and beat it out.
 
It would have had Schwinn S-6 rims that took a 26 x 1-1/4 or 1-3/8 tires, the same size as racers & breezes and such. The hub it came with would be the Sturmey Archer S3C.
