1959 Tiger, before and after.
I bought this from a dude who was in the middle of losing his house in the mortgage fiasco. I was, in fact, laid off from work, but, knew I was going back to work. He wasn’t. He had rounded up all the decals, and some decent parts, but, was unemployed, had some nasty health issue we didn’t get into, and was having a hard time being in the same room with his wife.
I felt really crummy walking the bike out to my station wagon, and told him so. He told me, “Just finish it, I’ll be thrilled if you get it done”. I did. I deviated from stock with the crash bar seat, a chrome kick stand with a rubber thingy for the bike to lean on, and that red and gold Schwinn decal on the seat post. My bike, my work, don’t like it, tough.
I lost track of the guy, hope he sees the photos I’ve posted several times here, and elsewhere.
