I picked up what seems to be a very nice Schwinn/BF Goodrich girls tank bike. I'd like some help identifying it further and seeing what everyone's thoughts are. Just to appease anyone and everyone, I might sell this bike.
It's a skiptooth with the sweetheart sprocket a bendix rear hub and brake and script schwinn front hub. It looks to be a pre 1948 Schwinn built for BF Goodrich as it has both Schwinn parts and the Schwinn decal but the BF Goodrich headbadge. I thought I saw that Schwinn built bikes for BF Goodrich in the 50's too? And what about that design on the chainguard? It almost looks like they built a Philadelphia Flyers bike!?!
Any ideas on the model or how common this bike is? I'm guessing the book rack on the back isn't original, and I know the seat isn't. Was there another rack these bikes came with originally?
Thanks for the help.
