I picked this sucker up and it's a cheap bike. The dropouts are crimped and spot welded, the lugs are big and ugly, the paint job is pretty poor, and the hub is some no-brand american 3 speed. I'll have to see if it says anything I can't see, but it just sez made in usa with a pat. pending # on it.

But it's got a lot of charm, the lousy paint job is pristine, and after a clean up will make a fine bike. Also is has a completely worthless kickstand that has crimped the chainstays. I'll see if I can put pics up sometime.

I also got a 63 schwinn world traveler (women's) and it is in pristine condition. There's a little surface rust on all the chrome of course, but the paint and decals are really nice. $42.25. I'm trying to buy nice, not-too-shabby bikes whenever I can because I'm seriously thinking of opening a used bike shop within a year, if not a bit sooner. So there's my excuse foor my 11 bikes.
