A picture is really needed. Here are a few Thunderjets, made by Chain bike corp. The girl's bike is 1955, the men's are from the 60's.

That chrome one looks awfully familiar.... :mrgreen: I believe it's hanging in my basement!! I don't know of any way to date Chain/Ross bikes besides old ads, and that the 50s ones look like that girls' bike, and the 60s look like the others! And I have another one too.
