Radiant Green Beautys

Posting these for a very lucky friend, 59 Tiger and 61 American. He just aquired both of these within the past three weeks. I wanted the AMERICAN in the worst way, but since I didn’t have the cash I insisted he pick it up. It’ll clean up beautifully. Enjoy!

Funny thing about it is, that Schwinn never built such a bike as this, although they should have, back in that time period. The only 5 speed middleweight that Schwinn did build was the 5 speed Corvette in 1961 and 1962. Not the Mk IV Jaguar. I built this in 2009 using all Schwinn factory original or Schwinn Approved period correct parts that combined this 3 speed Jag with a 1967 Collegiate drive train.
