So i found this lovely old schwinn on craigslist, the guy i got it from claims its a 1948 typhoon but i just want to pass it by everyone on here before i go slapping a motor in it- im looking for a period correct motor for it too
it has a schwinn seat, chain guard and the wheels look like schwinn wheels- the front tire looks original brick style blackwall
the guy i got it from said he got it at edwards air force base when he got out of the service in 1966. he gave it to his son who tryed his hand at pinstriping on the seat. it looks a lot like a straight bar but ill let you be the judge!
i picked up a repop schwinn springer and a set of used bars- older style
all in all - this was a 100 dollar day!
what do you think?
