That's really cool. I like it
|
That is one cool frame I rearly like the bow and arrow type springer forks. This is one bike that should be restored the paint looks good enough that it only needs minor restore. Schwinn knew how to paint which was something the revials back in the day never seemed to figure out.

Very cool - but make a copy or two of that key if you can. Lose it and you'll be in deep doo-doo :)

Yum! Too bad bikes like these never show up in my neighborhood... Too much beach, not enough cruisers:)

Needs a set of fixy wheels.

Looks heavy and slow to me

Fork's sprung

DD I keep a "train bike" at my in law's home in southern Bayern. Three summers ago, I lost the key after locking the bike up at a train station in Munich. The in laws were not amused when the "Polizei" stopped me as I was attempting to carry the bicycle onto the storage compartment on the train to get back to Emmerting. They had to come and verify that I was ok. Didn't have my passport along on the day trip. :( |

^^^^That!^^^^

Schwinn cantilever frames are perfect. Like a classic Coke bottle, they magically got all the curves & proportions right. Most others are just off a little. This is a bike that deserves a full restoration.

Love it! Whatever you do, do NOT repaint it. That is a badass color scheme and it has just the right amount of patina. Any idea what year it is?

Yeah, but a deliciously smooth heavy and slow!

I don't normally go in for that type of bike, but one is awesome. What a fantastic paint job. In this case I suspect it actually looks better than when it was new.
