Just picked up these 2 Sears frankenbikes last night. Turns out they are better than I thought.
1st is whats left of a Spyder. Front rim looks like a Sears rim. Has a Schwinn Spitfire 24x 1.75 tire with NO cracks. The rear is really wide, sure enough its a center stamped schwinn s-2 with new departure model d hub with the wrong brake arm. Has an awesome Sears Allstate 24 x 1.75 redline tire with NO cracks. Cool glitter saddle. Sprocket looks like a Schwinn, is it?
Would this have been a 5 speed with the dual rear brakes?
2nd is a 24" Sears cruiser. Thought the front was an s-7 but its not, so I'm guessing that ones original. Rear has no markings but has a New Departure Model D hub again. Nice Good Year Studded tire with NO cracks. Not sure what's original. Will look better once I ditch the Wald basket. Has Schwinn bars/grips. Union front hub and pedals
Got a lot more cool parts that I thought I was getting. Too bad none of the rims/tires match.
