Chicyco-Looking for info

On Training Wheels
I came across this bike last week, and have not been able to find much information on who actually made it. Is it Schwinn? Does anyone here have any photos that could help me with what the original paint looked like? Thanks!

Doesn't look Schwinn to me. I've seen that chain ring just can't place it. V/r Shawn
 
Hey hey, cool find! I would tend to agree with the schwinn built I.D
Feel I have seen the crank on early schwinn and same fork as this schwinn built Hawthorne deluxe. Is the top fender stay kind of thin like the one pictured?

I guess I'm getting out voted on this one. My reservations on saying this is a Schwinn are this: 1. I thought Schwinn motorbikes bottom bar was the same diameter (1") as the rest of the frame 2. This appears to have a large chain ring (30+ teeth?) and large sprocket which I believe is atypical of Schwinn. @hoofhearted V/r Shawn
 
First things first... Great find!!!!!!!
Second, Hello!
Third, most items on this baby are high $$$ items, super deep x-bars, 30 tooth chain wheel, pedals unusual, bulldog grips to die for, great saddle, even stem is about a $200 item. so don't let her go too cheaply if you decide to part with.
Top space between bars seems very narrow like Elgin Chief.

Hey Bri not sure how you are counting the teeth but I see about 30 max. Not enough fidelity in the pic to get an accurate count but this is a 1" pitch ring and definitely not 70. V/r Shawn
 
I meant equivalent of... 70 (35), but crank arm is less than radius of wheel, so yes, likely a 30. Good eye Shawn!
It's difficult to be the first poster AND get all the details correct in an instant. :cool:
