On Training Wheels
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Schwinn La Salle and was hoping to get some help identifying it. The front badge has Chicago Cycle Supply Co. and La Salle written on it. From what I've gathered from my research, the front Androck basket and the metal plate in the middle of the frame were added afterward. From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong), Chicago Cycle Supply had this bike made by Schwinn and then put their own name on it, likely in the late 30's. The bike is very rusty and been painted over, but I can make out that some text was on that metal plate so I'm assuming it was used for some advertisement at some point. I can't see a serial number anywhere because of the paint. The front tire is Kelly Springfield Road Trac and the back is Goodyear. Would appreciate any help in identifying this bike and maybe where the serial number would be.
