Looking for info

I had a straight bar Schwinn , a DX model I believe . All bare, like this one. no fenders or tank or accessories. I could wheelie that bike for miles if i had a long flat road. There's something to be said about a bare bones bike. The serial number will tell you a lot. Good luck , You will get a lot of good info here

If it was a straight bar it was not a DX! DX has 2 curved bars

Yep, Tornado markings specific to that model only. 58 was the first year I believe with an early introduction.

Oddly...I think I might have the correct chainguard for that...and a front fender.
