I was going through my in-laws barn last weekend and I found two 20" bike's, well, most of them. They are frames, forks and a few misc parts. I have looked over a bunch of photos on the web and one looks like a 70's Schwinn frame and no idea what the other is.

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks

Someone might recognize the green one's chain guard.

On the Blue.. the wheels are the wrong size, this frame was designed for much larger wheels, probably 26" Balloon tire type.
The chain stays look kind of what Columbia was doing in the 70's but I am on thin ice in even saying that.

Really, the rims were not on it when I found it, but I found them close by. The frame looks a lot like what Schwinn did in the 70's with the banana seat and ape hangers. I don't see the frame being used with any rim other than a 20". I may be wrong, but I guess its possible. I'll take some measurements to see. I know that the frame/forks have holes for hand brakes, but it does not look like the frame had used them.

Thanks

Any other input?

Looking again, maybe the blue one used 24" wheels, it just does not look "right" for the wheels in it. Neither is a Schwinn. There are no goldmines here. The green bike's chain guard is distinctive enough that it may be identifiable from that.

I saw a photo of a bike with a headbadge somewhat like the shape of the one with the big chain guard. Kilp, made in Scotland. It's a long-shot but it's all I have.
