I picked up a balloon tire Schwinn project last year and absolutely LOVE riding it and our 8 year old daughter Shelby has been getting jealous. A couple weeks ago at a recent automotive swap meet she found what we thought would be the perfect project bike for her, a woman's Shelby Flyer. We have been able to break the bike down all the way except for removing the seat post (any advice would be appreciated) and have spent a number of hours cleaning and polishing the paint that is left. I am sure at some point she will want it repainted but I am going to hold off as long as I can until she gets older. I have been searching for information since we picked it up but could not find much at all. If anyone could point me in a direction I would appreciate it. From what I can make out the Serial Number is G53071.
The one question I have for everyone is in regards to the wheelset. Would you go with a brand new set or relace the original ones?
Thanks,
Jason and Shelby
