Original Skip tooth Schwinn Hornet

[duncan]

Found in the basement of an old general store this weekend, and scored this. I am not sure of the year, but I haven't really had time to completely go over it. Looks to be mostly original and complete, minus the front fender and the custom rack, but it has really nice patina. It is the first bike I have bought with it's tank still on!
Not really sure what to do with it just yet. Most likely just make it a good original everyday rider.













Thanks!

Nice bike! It looks like it has a slight bend in the forks and truss rods but that should be an easy fix. I like the original paint on it with great patina. I think the rack is original just had the rear part cut off.

That bike will clean up great! I have a standard model in the same color and similar condition...
