Everyone needs at least a couple Schwinn's in their collection!
A nice score, I'm very pleased with. Original, 1953 Schwinn BFG, Challenger. Chasing a few small things, needing tires, a killer cleaning and detailing, original seat already out being recovered.

Awesome bike! Looks like it was well taken care of. Did you by it from the original Owner?

Very nice score! Are there holes in the fender for a Rocket Ray?

God, I'm LMFAO! I didn't have my f'g glasses on and that rusted light must have looked like a piece on his wall collection in the background. I hate wearing glasses, but it sure looks like I should start using them all the damn time.

That is a really nice find! For some reason, green bikes speak to me in some way.

No, a trusted friend found it. I got it from them.
