Hi Schwinn Forum,
I found this old Schwinn bicycle at home recently. I remember my dad riding this one my mom having a white Co-Ed Schwinn also (I also found it).
I have the serial number (M223787), tire size (26 x 1 3/8) and part of the name (See picture). Can anyone give me more information on this bike? I want to restore it but am wondering what that would involve. Thanks for any help!

Cool Bike

I used to have one, I miss it! 2 speed kickbacks are great.

don't go nuts, wash/wax, hit that chrome with some nev-r-dull, grease and ride. and maybe some new tires..

That Racer is in pretty nice shape. Like the others said, just clean it up. The decals appear to be in great condition but the chainguard screening isn't so great. A new guard decal could be installed pretty easily.
The serial number was recorded 12/13 of 1962 so the bike would be a 1963 model.

Thanks for the input!

Thanks so much for your quick replies. I will keep you posted and show some pix when restored. The Co-ed I have is in much worse shape and may go to a local restorer in town.
Keep spinning those wheels...
