Hard rock. Well loved. Small or medium frame from the looks of it

 

[MattiThundrrr]

93 ish Hardrock FS chromoly frame. Looks pretty stock. Measure the seatpost to find out the size, 17" is a medium. Pretty much identical to the RockRat, minus a decade or two of upgrades. Nice pickup. If you need me, I'll be back in the wilderness for another minute or two

Got this Schwinn tornado hoping @Wildcat or any other ratter can tell me more about this frame not like the other tornados. But Schwinns are rare up here and I've found three this year

 

[RustyGold]

They were '62 only as Typhoons... ~'61-62 overall.

Several discussions about them here and on the cabe. Search for twin straight bar should find you some.

One of my favorite frames.

Chaingauard may not be original then

Here is a good primer...

twin bar info

 

[RustyGold]

If Tornado it's probably a '61.

I'll get better pics in the morning. I seen the add rushed out handed the guy 40 bucks and threw the bike in the car

 

[RustyGold]

Serial should be on left rear dropout and will confirm year.

We spent three years saying schwinns were rare lol and I've gotten three this summer for under $250

I'm no expert. I'm just liking the looks of this bike. Hope you get it figured out
