I picked this bike up in 2015. Was in the basement of a local bike shop since 1966. First pic is when I got it. The second pic is at Circle City California bike ride last March.
Came out of a barn in Connecticut with 3 other Schwinn's about 30 yrs ago, but a really big barn that was nicer than most houses! ( big time Schwinn collector back in the day ). Got to dig it out of my barn and get some better pics soon.
Not a big dollar bike ($60 CL find), little 71 strawberry color Breeze, owner fitted a new chain and tires, and had the rusty fenders off, looked like he was making a retro hybrid project. It was pretty crusty, I put it all back together, steel wool'd the rust greased and oiled it up. It runs amazingly, shifts nice, tracks straight etc. I was surprised, every original piece was on the bike, reflector, nice undamaged peddles, srarlky grips all there. Somebody probably left this in their yard for years by the looks of the patina,
Just got this, my 1961 Wasp heavy duti. Spent its whole life in Pueblo Colorado, was found in basement of bike store in 1968...bought it from collector in Pueblo who has had in since. The newspaper bags are local to Pueblo.
That Jag is a beauty! The reason I asked was it has the Austrian 3 speed and I thought those started to show up on the 1959 models. I believe the Schwinn notice on those were in the October Reporter and they were going to be using this hub when their supply of the Sturmey's were depleted. For years I thought those 1959 Maywegs that showed up on 1958 models were replacements until I saw one of these ads in a Fall 58 comic book.
