Schwinn King Size Registry & Research Project

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

I was bored today so I started looking for information on a bicycle I bought at a garage sale years ago. It’s a 1962 schwinn American king size heavy duty. Bought from the original owners estate all original except the tires. Would possibly like to add it to your registry

It's always awesome to see hardware on a bike that pristine. That one will clean well, I wouldn't even touch the cad plated hardware.

I aired up the tires when I got it and rode it around a little bit, rode awesome! Just been sitting since. Local doctor had it since new before me

The recent addition of my bicycle is wrong. It should be a king size heavy duty

eBay heads up, rough frameset. Thought it was radiant green but looks like radiant blue was the original color.

Really rough. Wrong fork. Rewelded. Seriously bad paint.
