My first.

[Longbow]

I rescued an old schwinn bike that was about to be cut up for an art project. I found much more to it than I thought I would. There is no serial number so assuming it's from the 50's, any information would be appreciated.

It took a little time removing the rust but the work was worth it.

If that's your first, can't wait to see your next....nice cleanup.

The serial number is most likely underneath the crank. If not, then the left rear drop out above the axle nut. Looks earlier than 1953. Nice job giving it back some color!

That thing looks great! Get those truss rods back on there!

 

[Longbow]

I'm new to this. Truss rods?

 

[mrg]

In the og pic truss rods are hanging from the basket.
