Racer vs Speedster

[ferdy]

I'm looking at two frames, both Schwinns: Speedster and Racer for a possible build. I'm wondering what differences there are in the two frames, both middle weights?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The early Speedsters are middleweights...but, I think all racers are lightweights.

Identical frames if they're the same size. Speedster was available with the small, curved tube frame, don't think the Racer ever was. ~Adam

Thank you both for the replies, still undecided!

Sounds like the only option is to buy both frames. That happens a lot.
