Picked these up today off craigslist, $25 for the pair. I emailed a minute after it was posted so I got lucky. But man these things are rusty. Schwinn Exelsior and Major something (You fill in the blank, I've thought of many haha) Everything on the schwinn is solid except the fenders have some rot. Red one is solid also. Should be fun projects.

Not sure what I'm doing with the bike yet, if I part it you got dibs on the tank.

I don't think so, I just think they were outside uncovered WAY too long, at least I saved them.

I soaked every nut and bolt on each bike with pb blaster today, figured I should give it a head start on soaking in lol. Who knows when I'll get to these.

I have an AMF Shelby with the same reddish paint, same type of chainguard, and same white yellow-gold pinstriping on the fenders. I'll try to get a pic on.

That would be great! I was gonna guess its Huffy made? I have another bike with that sprocket, I think its an AMF so I bet your right.

Here's the AMF Shelby I was talkin' about.

Hope these help you out.
