What is this bike? Schwinn? Confirmed!

[Archie Sturmer]

Below is an Old Milwaulkee ad for Admiral bicycles that look like A&S built.

The 1920's Motor Bike pictured above appears to have the 4-shamrock chain ring sprocket, similar to one pictured below.

Nice A&S Admiral, GLWTS!

These older bikes have had long lives. Paint, whitewashed-looking, does not match.(fork/frame) Didn't most early schwinn's have asc forks? Badge outline is not really same badge-to-headtube. Crankset is not schwinn, stem bars and wheel changed out. Seatpost patina very different. Chain adjusters look like Shelby as does the fork truss. Is there a weld weep-hole on the bottom of the lower top bar where it meets the head tube?

what does "weld weep-hole" mean?

yes, it had a long life .... anything could have been switched or replaced
but it sure looks like it's been whole for a long while

Sorry. A small 3/32" hole that allowed gasses to escape during welding/brazing. Most of my old shelby's have this weep hole. Bottom front lower top tube.

for sale in the for sale section
USD$600 + actual shipping from Canada ***tank not included***
bike is very heavy so it will likely cost over $250 to ship

Ok I'm confused. The bike in the classifieds appears to be a different bike, with an IGH and a shifter, and is not advertised as a Schwinn. None of the pictures in either thread show a tank. What bike are we discussing?

EDIT: Never mind, the other ad just surfaced. Good luck with the sale.

Did not intend to cause trouble, but this bike is a SHELBY!!!!! I am going out on a limb to say this but I am now quite sure about it after seeing this offering below on the E-pay site. Sometimes, un-abused bikes show up there and some appear original.
I believe that this particular fork (that I have seen here questioned) is pre or early 30's Shelby. With the big-tank moto frame..... Shelby!

I will try to find the link.... ok here it is!!
