Balloner

 

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

Ballooner, sorry

 

[Handle Bar Hoarder]

Balloner

WHY IS THERE TWO DIFFERENT DECALS FOR THE CHAIN GUARD ONE SAYS SCHWINN STARLET & THE OTHER SAYS STARLET WITH A STAR... I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE LATER ONE,S BUT THE EARLIER ONES... WHAT THE DIFFERNTS ???? AND WHY

 

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

That I do not know for sure, but oddly there is a middle weight Starlet listed in '54 catalog. Perhaps yours is a '54? Really strange they went from middle wight to ballooner. I guess it was just a tire change not a frame but I'm not sure.

There were only 5 middleweights available in 1955..............................and a Stalet is not one of them so it's a balloon model.

Corrected, actually only four different models.
