I have so many girls that it's difficult to resist a dude bike. I like the ones that hold air and ride immediately. Spray bombed S-7 rims, frame and fenders. They taped up the rear hub and decals before spraying. Not sure the badge is original to the bike? Has the Schwinn approved German made rear hub. Seat, and pedals clearly not original. Im realy not much of a Schwinn guy, but have perhaps 5 of them. Flea market find at $45.

A steal at 45 bucks!
I think that's the original head badge. The bike was repainted (with a brush :tmi:), but they taped off the badge and decals! That's a good thing. The wheels on a 59 Tornado should be white S-7s. Not the usual 26" tire size. It's got the twin bar frame that many people look for. It was available only for a few years back then.This bike looks to be in excellent riding condition.
