Looks like it is a 1947.
Need to decide if I want to completely go through this and make it beautiful or do a complete tuneup on it and move it along..,
Found it… C21253
5/22 - 5/29 of 1952.
this must be one of the last bikes with a 1” pitch chain, unless that was swapped out as well.
thanks for the kind assistance !
Hoping to learn what year and model this bike might be. Can't find a serial number anywhere but the paint is very thick. Rear hub is Bendix, marked '36-13'. Front hub has Schwinn script logo.
thanks for the assistance!
I had posted hoping to get some leads, but to date no luck!!
any chance anyone can refer me to places online where I can look at 1000s of old vintage restored [or otherwise] bikes from the same time period?
I figure if I look at enough bikes out there I might see a resemblance as to what this...
Thanks for your assistance .
How do I go about giving my post a “bump”?
also, do you have any suggestions as to where I could look through fully restored bikes from that time. To possibly see a frame that is similar to mine?
I just can’t seem to find any websites were there are fully restored...
Thanks for your response. Will be interesting what other members come up with !
I used to get a number of very nice frames at the recycling yard in Pacifica but that all went away when Recology got the contract!

thanks for your reply [ and for the 1st one as well ! ] I hate throwing old stuff away. will rob parts and find a spot. I own a 1960 Schwinn Tornado and a 58 American. I need to move these 2 ladies bikes out and find a mens D-frame [straight bar] that I can have fun on ! appreciate your...
Thanks for your response. Great job on that bike for your granddaughter !
The wheels are 24". They seem to match the rest of the bike paint scheme leading me to believe they are original equipment. However, I believe that the bike more than likely came with 26" wheels [559 I assume] I don't...
the 1940 advert for the Murray Speedsters has a flopped image! cranks on the left side ...only one I ever heard of was Sheldon Browne who built a bike like that for fun
I picked this one up the other day at American Cyclery in San Francisco. I had initially thought I'd use the skip tooth chain for another project [Montgomery Wards Hawthorne] but am now rethinking that plan.
I'd like to find out who made this bike and the model year.

Here's my 1960 Spitfire. A gift from a pal in Fort Scott KS. Taken at Mori's Point in Pacifica the other day.
The fork was badly bent ... my brothers and I did our best to get the blades realigned but the forged forks are very hard to straighten.
We did a pretty good job as it rides like a...
