Hello, I searched around other posts to see if I could find the answer to my question. It's possible I did not input the right search criteria, so forgive me if this is a question that's been answered before.
This morning while riding my 1978 Schwinn Le Tour III 10 speed to work (hee-hee!), I found in the garbage an old Western flyer Sonic flyer that was in pretty sad shape. I managed to do enough research using the hub to find out that at least that part is stamped with the date "E" meaning it's from 1962. That's about as far as I got in finding another image or article or thread about this bike.
I thought what would make it easy to find more information is that the tank, the front fender, and the back rack all have a decal of a white circle with a number 32. The rack on the back also has on its sides a very small white circle decal with the number 4. And on the back of the rack is a tiny little white sticker that says "The Linberg Line".
He's a rusty bucket but I plan on getting it roadworthy to add to my choices for commuting to work.
Does anyone have any research pointers or any information that might help me find out more about this bike? I'm just curious why the number 32 and the words "The Lindberg Line" are on this model.
I already took the tank off before I started taking pictures but it does have the headlights intact just a really rusty battery tray.
