Very cool David! I had a Schwinn, much earlier than this one, circa early 50's. Stepdad paid around $70 if my memories serves. Anyway, I stripped it down, removed tank with horn, luggage carrier, and fenders. Man, I don't think that man ever bought another thing for me ever! He was seriously P0'd. But, I had one racey looking new bike! LOL Ah, the memories!
