Need help identifying this bike

[SillySilv]

@SillySilv it's a good candidate to maybe customize or faux patina and make look vintage for daily riding but it's probably Taiwan made as stated. I'd start by getting rid of All the red on the frame, forks, and fenders BUT leave the wheels red. Could spray a little bit of black lightly, rusty red primer, and scotch brite scuff it until desired ...... would be a cool look for a cheap rider

Welcome to the Cabe.

Your bike does resemble a newer Schwinn possibly 2004 and up. The chain guard and the way it's mounted also suggests Schwinn. I can't tell if the tank plate was added or if that's original. I had a Lime Schwinn 2006 SS and the fake tank panel was part of the frame. Here's a Cruiser SS but don't know the year.

Thanks I don't know if that plate was original. The handlebars are old but that could just be an old steer. How would I know I'm still in training wheels.

The plate looks factory. Found this one.

Nope not until you mentioned it but most cheap chain store bikes here in the US are usually all Taiwan made.

We all fell into that trap! Hopefully we learn something from this pandemic. We made the coolest things our self's and we should be doing it again!

That is the same model bicycle. The question now is why is it red with beige handlebars? It doesn't look repainted.

I have cheap bikes like that and they ride good enough & are less hassle most of the time when you leave well enough alone.

I'm Dutch we all have cheap bikes. Otherwise it will get stolen in no time!

Oh and thank you, you just made my day. It looks like we bought a Schwinn for less then $30 LOL

Thanks to you all I found it and understand why the stickers are taken off. We have the Heinz Ketchup bicycle, not sure now if it is a Schwinn. But it doesn't really matter. We love it and it and for €25 we got a good deal.

@SillySilv if you want some cool ideas for this bike I would be glad to help out. I normally am not a fan of Schwinn or cantilever style frames but I own 1 of each.

Thank you that's really sweet! But this is the boyfriends project and I'm only allowed to look for parts. He wants to do it his way and is having a blast already! I'm the furniture restorer around here and I do that my way. Now it's my time to sit in the corner and watch him have fun. Those are the bicycles we saw in American TV shows and we all wanted to have one as kids. They didn't sell them here, so he's feeling like that little kid rightnow.
