I got the bike LAST week , and got the wheels THIS week . Unexpected surprise at a local Swap Meet. 1955 Schwinn Tiger. Someone spent some time re-working ( and painting) this into their rendition of a "Cruiser" . Not the best paint , pinstriping and decal placement . BUT.........................it had "Parts" I needed, and was dirt cheap.................Still gettin' things in order, but did find a set of S-7 wheels and tires at the Almost Spring Swap meet This weekend , and put those on . The bike had aftermarket wheels, and 2.125" wide tires . ( now they reside on another bike) The S-7 's are SO MUCH BETTER ! The last picture is how it was when I brought it home ( Last Week) ALSO .......................had removed the light , and then later noticed it had been converted to LED . SCORE !

Is this a 1960 or 61 model tiger? I have one that is very similar, but mines a 1957 b.f. Goodrich model. Also love the brick red tires. they really pop on this bike. ENJOY!!!

The bike was touted as being a 1955 . Looking into that , it seems to be the 1st year of this model. The Prev. Owner has painted over the serial # , so i cant verify. The parts that appeared to be original when I bought it do appear to be from a 1955 model. It had the Red tires,and aftermarket wheels on it. Balloon tire size ( 2.125" ) not Middleweight size ( 1 3/4 " ) I bought a girls bike for the correct wheels and tires, and did the swap. The paint is thick , and not well done...................but' it's somewhat passable, and I would not have done any better myself. For what I paid for it, and all the work that was done to it..............it was a steal. Here's some photo's I took today. ( A few changes , as you'll see ) Ride Safe :cool:
