Wartime Schwinn New World Bikes - We Know You Have Them - Tell Us About Them!!

This is my great grandpas I am not dead sure on what it is if anyone can find a pic of how it should be I would love it

With the built-in kickstand it's post-war. Schwinn built that frame style from 1945 up until the early '60's. There should be a serial number under the crank bracket or on the left drop-out, that should narrow down the year. The chain ring's been replaced, but it looks like the paint may be original, maybe a late '50's Racer? Are there any other parts?

crank sprocket says late 60's through the 70's

Looks like the remains of a 1960's Racer if the sprocket is correct

I'm thinking the frame is earlier than the sprocket, but I'm going off the top of my head.

I don't know when that sprocket came out, but the remaining decals are early 60's Racer style, maybe the sprocket has been changed

Checking the catalogs, it looks like 1965 was the last year for the step-through frame with the straight top tube, early '60's could be right.

I haven’t look at it too hard but looks like a late 50s ladies racer (maybe early 60s) In that condition it’s worth whatever you can get for the parts. IMO It looks like it has already been gone over, stripped of parts and left for dead. Chain ring was swapped.
