Two Garbage Find Schwinns

[StoneWoods]

The annual city cleanup was friday and saturday (Where you drop off crap at city hall so they can scrap it). We had our old refigerator to get rid of so we took it out friday morning. While my dad was there he asked the guys to save any bike they got ,so they said ok. Friday, 5:00 pm I get there and there are two Walmart type "bmx" bikes there, so with that I was happy. Saturday 12:00 Noon is when they were done so thats when we came back. As we were pulling in I saw a glimpse of a fender and my heart started racing. I jumped out of the truck and ran around the scrap trailer and the first thing I saw was the 54' wasp. As I got closer I looked under the trailer and saw the 65' Typhoon. But the kicker was is they are both 24"

May be a kicker that they're both 24" but they are nice and complete. Far from scrap/junk. Both good finds.
