Pedalsnostalgia

Finally riding a big boys bike
This bike was spotted hanging in the back ground of a picture of another bike. I contacted the owner and was able to parches it out of Texas, it was in very rough condition but what really caught my eye was it was Coppertone which was a color that was not offered in 61 62, and around the 8th month of 62 was supposedly the end of the production of the 5 speed Corvette. So was this bike a replacement frame? Could it have been a Schwinn Big Wig building it for? Never say never when it comes to Schwinn.

The frame came with the 63 dated cranks, chain guard ( you can barley make out the 5 speed flags ) and a twisted up 63 fender and that's it.

The previous owner purchased this bike from a bum that was riding it down a street in Daytona Beach, Florida 26 + years ago.
