Wow! Congrats, to the lucky dog who scored this neat old relic.

It was real tempting but glad it stayed in the cabe family

Probably a once in a lifetime score - such an amazing bike!! That’s a great New Year present.

Yeah, and having that original family portrait with the actual bike to go with it, is priceless!

What amazes me is that probably 90% of the pre 1900 Schwinns known are tandems and triplets. Cool bike hopefully someone will do it justice and bring it back. V/r Shawn

We could not find any other examples like it, so imagine it is certainly a fairly rare example. We left it in 100% untouched all original condition. It has the original badge in really nice condition.

So who got it? I was so tempted to bid. Sellers were very accommodating too and offered to store for a
long period awaiting pick up/ ship
