Hello all,
I have this single straight bar schwinn. Serial number puts it at 1957 however, I thought the tornado did not come till later on. Maybe the chain guard is not original to the bike? I know the pedals are aftermarket. Not sure about the wheels. They are s7 but thought they would need to be painted? Also it has a bendix 2 speed with the shifter on the hangle bars and looks similar to a brake lever. Never seen that before. Any info and insight into this bike is much appreciated. Tried looking it up online but I know there is a lot of people with knowledge on here. Thank you
