Scwinn Sportabout - leave the rack??
I obtained one of these through a bulk bike buy.
I have no interest in restoring it since I have too many other projects.
I am willing to give the bike away, BUT
it has a rack on the back. I want to put the rack on one of my other bikes, but don't want to kill someone else's chance to restore the bike.
Are these factory?
Should I leave it for whoever gets the bike next, if so I need to the $$ to get another rack like it.
What do you experts know about this.

Thanks so much! Great information, but alas, it was too small for the other bike.

I modified the rack and it works great now.
