Whizzer Schwinn Excelsior??

[Cyclone]

Hello Cabers! Another conundrum! I have a pretty dilapidated Whizzer that is confusing me. It has an Excelsior badge, and I’m not sure of the year. I can’t find anything about it in my Schwinn searches. I was told that Schwinn manufactured Excelsior but again...I can’t seem to find the info. What I would like to know is what year it is, and is it worth my time and money to bring it back to life. Like I said, it’s pretty sorry to look at, but it keeps growing on me. All information is greatl

From what I see........................That would cost A LOT to " Bring Back to Life " . That has some SERIOUS issues. I'm SURE you would have more into it than it would be worth after it was Re- Done . It does cost quite a bit when working to salvage a decaying machine like that . Yes Schwinn made bikes that were badged "Excelsior" . Search Excelsior on the search bar Here , on the Cabe ...................you'll find the info your looking for . A serial number would really help. There are a lot of whizzers out there. Read up on 'em and learn all you can . They did have a few different motor types . Education is KEY J.M.H.O.

The bike is a post war Schwinn B6 model. Serial number should be on the left rear drop out above the axle nut if it's a 52 or later or under the crank if it's a 46-51 model.
Looks like it would take to much work, time and money to bring that one back IMO.

I will post a photo of the serial number. I thank you both for your assistance. Maybe I will just part it out. A donorcycle...

Good features but abused. Parts bike?

 

[Chiptosser]

Do you have any pictures of the other side of the engine and bike?

I would keep it as is. Would make an interesting wall hanger/conversation piece.

looks like it WAS a 600-700 rollerbearing mill.
get out the pb or kroil and soak her up and dismantle to see what you have saveable.
