The description that didn't post with the photos (including the serial #) ((sorry it didn't post the first time!!))
Hey fellow bikers!! I bought a Schwinn at a yard sale about three years ago from an old gal who was trying to clear out her late husbands barn. She said he had bought it brand new, but didn't have any info beyond that. When I was doing what research I could, I found from the serial number, A11326, that it was produced between 08/08-08/18 in 1954. I have an original Chicago Schwinn. Trying to research the chrome, information was even sparser. I did once see a paper advertisement on eBay for custom chrome option available through direct factory order, but it had sold before I could check them out more thoroughly.
So here is my question for you guys.... Does anyone know about the full chrome option? What years was it offered? Is my bike original?? Any info you guys have, I would appreciate. I have included photos, I have more/close-ups if needed.
Interested in info, history, stories and possibly in selling my bike. It rides smoothly and gets a lot of comments naturally, I would just really love to know more about my bike.
Thanks in advance!!!
