1962 Schwinn frame...

[BF2485]

I have this 1962 Schwinn frame , built 6/8/1962 , anyone how if it has a lot of value? I might be selling it

Looks like a straight bar tornado. I think you can get a half way decent complete rider with original paint for $150 or so.

$150 or so.

Maybe a typhoon same price for a rider.

Lets just say that it will fetch more than a regular cantilever frame. Frame build date is not the date that is associated to the serial numbers. Build dates are totally unknown.

one year only style frame... i think it's one of the cooler styles too, with the stays and straight bar being all one piece..

Cool bikes. Desirable for the uniqueness of the one year frame.

 

[GTs58]

I think that frame was available for a little longer than a year. Maybe 1.5 years.

A bare frame like that I'm seeing $50 tops. They may be one year only but I haven't seen any complete bikes bring what I would call strong money. V/r Shawn

Perfect example of rarity not equal to value. And yes for once I can confidently use the term rare.

If the frame pictured above is a 62ish with 2 straight bars what year is this Tornado with 1 straight bar?
