Ridable again unknow arch/truss bicycle

[ohmybike]

I remove all the old house paint and re-painted it with satin claret wine rust-oleum spray paint color to match original. I believe that’s what was under the red paint. That’s my interpretation of what was there originally. Then I wet sanded it to expose some metal to look simulate old paint and then clear matte it. Come out great. I’m still searching for the badge. I get a lot schwinn but I’m not sure. Has 26” lightweight rims super true with ND mode A rear and from hub ND -W. I’m sure I could put 28” but that’s how it came with 26” so I’m leaving it till I know what it is. I added the drop stand and clip. Thanks and enjoy the pics.

Very nice job creating the old paint look. Riding and treating it like you stole it will only enhance the look. lol
