Found two bikes for 60.00$ pixie and ??

[abel01]

Went to a buddies house ..He had a boys PIXIE for sale ....my son was with me and he wanted it...anyways he had a beat up bike sittin in his garage...I asked about it of course..I didn't pay to much attention to details ....I just saw the frame and loved those drop outs ....found out later that day that the rims were much more valuable and rare (from what I hear).anyways it has no badge so if anyone out there know any info about it let me know...here's a few pics.

Here's my sons pixie.

Here's the other unknown bike...

front rim...says Schwinn made in France(hub). how weird.

Rear rim hub......says 2 gang Torpedo Automatic SACHS.
Apparently once you go about 10 mph it switches gears.

The frame is definitely a Murray with the pointed dropouts and the oval cutout chainring.
