Correct Pedals for 1962 Schwinn American (Standard) - Part II
Can anyone tell me (by name) what type of pedals are on my '62? (I hear names such as Torrington, Persons, etc.) My pedals on my '62 are the same exact pedals as on Schwinnbikebobb's '63 pictured above.
I have seem similiar 1/2" block (waffle) style pedals, but they differ on the end plates.
The pedal end plates on my bike as well as Schwinnbikebobs have the typical center crown with the Schwinn cross with end plates that are perfectly flat. The pedals that I see in abundance are of the same 1/2" waffle style. but the end plate differ. These pedal end plate have the same center crown with the Schwinn cross, but the end plates, instead of being perfectly flat, have the edges of the flat plate folded at 90 degrees to support the edge of the pedal rubber (waffle).
Can any help with this clarification???
Thanks
