Need help on this Schwinn.

I grabbed this at a Church Yard Sale today. I am guessing it's late 60's early 70's Any ideas what this is?

The frame was built in May 1967... the rest may always be a mystery

It's a Breeze coaster. Check the hub for a stripe and we can tell whether it's a two-speed kickback or not.

Here's the link to the 1967 catalog page: https://www.trfindley.com/flschwinn_1...0/1967_15.html

It's a ladies electroforged model, and if the original color was red it's probably a Breeze.

OK Guys, thanks for the links and Info. It's a single speed. It has 24" wheels on it now. I see in the catalog it never came with 24's.

Ok well that's that. I may restore it.

The "junior" sizes came with 24" wheels: https://www.trfindley.com/flschwinn_1...0/1967_27.html but judging from the clearance (Clarance) I'd say it's a mongrel.

Restoring it may be a chore, particularly since finding 26 x 1 3/8 S-6 rims will be tough. It's missing the Schwinn fenders, wheels, seat, handlebars... you'll need a good parts bike to make it whole.

I think it'd be a nice "town" bike with some aluminum rims and a coaster brake. Sun makes a basic aluminum rim in close to the correct size: https://sheldonbrown.com/harris/rims/590.html .

I was going to say at first sight it is a mutant. It should have 26" x 1 3/8" wheels, Schwinn sizing. From the fork it appears as if it originally had a front brake. Rat Rod material.

SB,

Good to see you and nice to see the beautiful AL November weather. Missing it here in NH.

I happen to have in my shed a '60s 3 speed Breeze that a neighbor "gifted" upon me. It is Campus green and is all there, wheels, fenders, saddle, etc. It is a bit rusty and long in the tooth, but if you would like it you can have it for the cost of shipping. Let me know.

Hard to say. Maybe $40-50?

Nice to be back. Been pounding it out over in the 41 since I have not had any good or worthwhile CV projects to play with. But how ever this offer turns out, I will be restoring a breeze one way or the other. Stay tuned
