I currently have 2 older bikes. 1 is a 68 breeze deluxe for the wife. Sky blue coaster brake. The other one I can not identify. I wanted to post pics. I believe it is a 66 deluxe typhoon but I can not find numbers anywhere on frame. Reason I think it is a 66 is it has painted fenders with chrome s7 rims. Has a front rat trap rack., 2 tone messenger seat. Looks all orginal. Chain guard says deluxe typhoon. If any one has any ideas on how to identify untill I take crank out I would appreciate it. I looked on both dropouts , bottom bracket, seat post. Head tube. Also under the badge. The paint looks orginal red. Thanks for any help.

It sound like a Deluxe Typhoon. The head badge has a four digit date code. See if that helps. We look forward to seeing it.

I see nothing on the head badge either although I think it might have been changed but not sure. The paint under the head badge looks like it has never seen the weather. The bike is not perfect but looks all there. The schwinn tires need replaced and think I can ride it untill winter when I tear down to clean up or restore.
