Sunday's Show and Tell ...12/6/20

-
Just got back from picking up these Mr. & Mrs. 1963 Varsitys from the original owner's Granddaughter in Law. The original owner(s), one still alive and she is 90. Found out I knew and went to school with one of the owners Sons. Small overpopulated world!

Both came from Pat's Schwinn shop in Mesa where I purchased my 64 Varsity and both are tagged with a City of Mesa plate and they have been sitting in a garage since the early 70's. They were really cheap and my intentions were parts bikes but now I don't know if I can butcher them up knowing the history. :rolleyes:

Prolly not much rust on those beauties.
 
Found this 1972 Schwinn Hollywood behind a shed yesterday. A few repairs and clean up and it’s back on the road! (I didn’t realize Simple Green would remove the graphics?!)

The chainguards are screened not painted very sensitive. No big deal its a hollywood not very desirable. But the ride is still fantastic. Enjoy

Fitting for a December show and tell: 1893 Christmas edition of Bearings bicycle trade journal which is packed full of great advertisements and articles. Also a photo archive of C.S. Henshaw; the one picture shows Henshaw on a motor pacer with Hedstrom.
