A converti-cycle is a bike that came with a top bar that could be taken off to convert it into a girls frame or leave it on for a boys frame.
 
I have one of those bikes sitting in my basement. The one I have is complete (other then the bar to make it a boys bike) and appears to be all original. If anyone is interested in it, and can pick it up from the greater Springfield, Ma area, then something can be arranges, as I have no kids myself. I may post pictures of it latter.
 
Those guys nailed it right on the head, that bike is allot like some of the older schwinn bikes. some of the old schwinn bikes had a tank that could be taken off to convert to a girls bike.

By the way, nicy playbike. I wish I had it.
