Green pea picker

[Ajames]

My boss once and a while finds some pretty cool bikes like this schwin green pea picker.

Due to be restored...

Great score. I am pretty certain that is one of the modern reproductions though. You can tell by the relative flatness of the seat and the dead giveaway is the allen head stem bolt.

No electroforged welds on the head tube or I bet the bottom bracket as well. Definitely a remake, but cool nonetheless and easier to restore!

It just saddens me when folks let bicycles deteriorate like this.

It's still worthy to be freshened up, new chain and bearings, replace a couple of parts.

The paint is actually in pretty good shape and most of the chrome will clean up with #0000 steelwhool and motor oil then a good chrome waxing.

Should be a cool bike when finished.
