Finally riding a big boys bike
This is a really nice Schwinn survivor, Made in Chicago on Jan. 18th of 1957.....Serial No. B 53848
This was found hanging in Grandpa's basement recently, He and the kids rode it for years and then it sat untouched for many more years.
It looks to be pretty much original ...I'm not an expert, so if someone see's something NOT original, please let us know .
The rear tire is a Schwinn Tractor and the front tire is a Schwinn Westwind (cracking in the tread) they hold air and are rideable .
The wheels have the usual dents and some pitting...I used 0000 steel wool on all of the chrome parts and they cleaned up quite well.
I tried to take pics of the pitting that wouldn't clean up on the front wheel. They look really good for being 64 yrs old !
The inside of the horn tanks look almost new ! The inside of the light housing has a little rust ....Both the horn and the light work !
I took it for a little ride and it rides and stops Great !
It's ready to enjoy and ride as is with the great patina or restore it to it's original beauty !
Selling Locally ....pickup only ....no Shipping, Sorry
