N+2!
So yesterday I scored a
Fuji Royale Mixte off the side of the road. Today, I took the dented hood from the car my son wrecked last month over to the city dump. They told me to put it "over there" which happened to be appliances and other stuff with lots of metal. At the back of the pile was an old stovepipe Schwinn Varsity Sport in a 24" frame (I think- big enough to be a keeper). I walked back over to the guy I had talked to and asked if I could take it. He said people aren't supposed to take stuff from the dump but because I asked no nice... sure!
Serial No. CJ526842 = March 1973
according to OldRoads.com
Originally sold by Paramount Schwinn, Harvey, Illinois- a Chicago Schwinn from a Chicago area store!
Looks like everything is there, with some rust and a little cosmetic damage. I've never seen a Schwinn seat that old in condition that good.
That's two bikes in two days. Then again they seem to come in pairs for me.
