I agree, cool rides. I like the look of the early girls frames before they put the kink in the top bar.

Exceptional pair of 1965 Collegiates. What a minute. Did they offer Violet in 1964? Looks like the RD's and brake levers on the mens are 64 issue. Interesting, I'd like to see the serial numbers on those.

64 models have painted fenders and the hat ring decal set. I think collegiate sport models were a dealer bar swap thing at this point not an actual catalog model like the later collegiates.

I agree on the bar swap on the men's bike.girls 5 speed is pretty rare.

1965 models then. Those safety suicide brake levers on the red button Weinmann's sure don't mix well. Definitely more of a suicide lever in this application.

Prob need the cash to fix that cheapo plastic geared, as in junk, mower.
