Just bought a bike

[Boom1432]

Not sure what I have any help is appreciated.
The odd thing to me is the way in which the middle bar attaches to the seat post , the top bar removes like a bantam but the middle bar is different and the top bar isn't exactly the same.

I've got NO idea what that is!

It's definitely different, got a Schwinn sprocket, but the frame 'kinda' looks Murray-ish.

Good luck with it!

Cheers,

The junctions of the seat stays and upper down tube look Murray to me. The thing that's odd is the lack of Murray style rear drop outs.

The lucky seven chainring does not belong on there. I don't think any of the other companies had a look alike version of it.

ok I'm no expert but I remember schwinn selling convertable banana bikes in the late 60s and early 70s. I'll go out on a limb and say schwinn convertable. The forks and the seat are an attempt to modernize it probably when the BMX bikes started to come on around 1976 or so.

The dropouts and tube junctions are dead giveaways to a Murray bike. Sprocket is Schwinn though

I appreciate the help. After looking on here I found this that looks like the same one, minus the top bar that is removable.

I would say someone added that top bar at some point.

Schwann had the bantam which had the removable top bar. The bantam had a much cleaner mounting for the bar than the Murray does.

Even with that bar, it's still a girl's bike. :mrgreen:
