Wore out three sets of tires already!
It always amuses me when someone is selling a bike that they think was made in the past few decades but is really over 120 years old. Ignore the Schwinn sticker! This frame is a mess, but it was cheap. It has 4 badge holes, with the distance between the center of the vertical holes as 2 5/8". There is a glob of weld metal at the bottom of the rear steering tube where the steering sprocket or rod used to be. This frame has some unique features that I'm hoping will make it easy to identify. It was built mostly with frame lugs but there are a few spots with no lugs - See photo of front sloping down tube with the red arrows. Anyone know what this is? ...or was?

I found this catalogue. Unfortunately it's not that clear but the lady front frame is very similar. There are a few on the Online Bicycle Museum but nothing that gives a good match.
