I have two 26 inch Schwinn bikes.one is a Hornet sn-jo62341 which was built 9-29-1960 as best I know. The other is sn-be17800 which I acquired as a basket case. THE hornet seems to be original but in need of minor attention. (dents in fenders,nuts, bolts, a spoke)The other sn- be17800 on the other hand needs research to find out what model it is (green) . I really would like to see these bikes restored to there original splendor as opposed to molesting them . I need some help with this site since Im not exactly computer savvy. Any help would be appreciated.

These guys are real good with that kind of stuff;

Google. There is a tremendous amount of Schwinn info out there.
