Any help ID my new friend

Clist delivered this for $35. Was listed as a shcwinn cause the seat and peddles are labled. But they are excorsizor parts.

Everythings wrong with this thing. Seat tube smashed to hold wrong post. BB cups are way to big and sitting on where the chain stays pass into bb preventing them to seat. The cranks have been eatting into the sprocket key way cause undersized.
The serial numbers are un readable. It seems to be an all black bike under the spray bomb gold. Still happy with it just wish i knew what it was..
At least the excorsizer peddles are im good shape to build custom jobs out of...
So i got peddles and a fork out of this one ...

I think im doing bike collecting and buying wrong...
On my way to grap a 1989 peugeot folder.
Maybe that will stay in one piece.

Solved the seat down tube issue. Its good to have too many hobbies.. used a ring sizer to stretch it back out to the right size and shape...

That triple stack fork crown reminds me of an AMF Roadmaster, though I doubt they were the only manufacturer to use that design.

Thank you it has built in fender mounts front and rear if that helps

I had a pair of Hiawatha's that looked similar. Had the same frame style and chainring.

Oh thats awsome! I think u helped me id the othef "vintage chicago schwinn" im trying grab off craigs. The big differance between the 2 is the dropouts. Yours have that winged murry look. Same with the one i may pick up. He has a macro shot w an electra seat basically thats dealing w the list in LA either they know what it is and want way too mutch.. its garbage and they want too mutch.. or they have no idea what they have and are positive its gold.

I have a diamond frame by the same maker, which was badged as a Sears Free-Spirit. I'm pretty sure the maker is Huffy.

 

[pholTmonx]

That would be a cool outcome if it is. Im impressed with how clean it was built originally as far as welds go. Not sure what ill do with it, getting hung in the racks for now.
Thanks for looking.

Definitely Huffy frame, probably late sixties, early seventies. Murray crank.

That built in kickstand is Huffy. Schwinn also used that, but it looked completely different.

 

[pholTmonx]

Well i think this officially wraps up my craigslist career. I like weird stuff, i've come to recognize that dose not lead to great buys just more weird stuff

 

[Wildcat]

For $35, that's a good deal.

Its a huffy... im impressed with how most of this was built... called verns and was planning run the fork over to them and have it dipped in copper.. i thought the fork crowns looked bent.. was about throw it in the press so i san blasted it.. nope it was fitted this way.. fender mount also brazed in twisted...

Not sure if i care enough to break out a tourch and seat things better.

Copper sounds better to look at.
