I'm not at typesetter or into signage- but this "ABC Cursive" looks a little closer to the "Schwinn/Schninn" font- just in the join of the lower case letter "i," but neither is a match.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away I was married to a girl from Amsterdam. Lovely culture. And the bikes there are "hart sticka leowke"

Dooey.
