Hello,
I have a frame that only had crank bearing cups and a seatpost when I built it up, so I haven't an clue what exact model it used to be.
So far, I've identified my frame as a 1955 Schwinn cruiser. I'm guessing it's a middleweight since I couldn't fit any of those new department store balloon fenders on the frame.
It has been spray painted blue and every layer of paint is severely cracking and chipping. The original paint underneath seems to be burgundy metallic. I'm pretty sure this is the original color since I still see layers of silver metallic and red primer.
What model was this frame?
Were all Schwinn middleweight frames in '55 the same?
