63 Schwinn help

[Turtlesixfour]

I have a 63 Schwinn that I am trying to fix up and need help identifying the model. It has no chain guard but only one fender with white stripes down each side. I believe it was originally red and has been repainted blue then red again.

Thanks for the help!

Post pics of the whole bike

was told that the fork and chainring are from another bike. Serial # K363807 10/25/63 on dropout. I have it all taken apart now.

1963 dated Cantilever frame, painted fenders, no tank tabs, flamboyant red color:

Would be a Tiger, Typhoon, American, or possibly a Hornet that had a full tank. (I forget which frame they used in 63)

Is that a dogleg crank?

This is the crank. Didn't know that it was called a dogleg but I knew it looked different than ones I have seen before.

I have one of those I pulled out of a 53.It wasn't the original crank to my bike.It had a skip tooth chain and a 47 date code Morrow hub.I think those dogleg cranks are from the 40s.Maybe someone with more Schwinn knowledge will speak up. you don't go to The Cabe it has a wealth of info on classic bikes.Nice folk also.

Look on the seat post tube, and see if you can make out any decals. A 63 Typhoon would only have a Schwinn Quality decal near the top, A Tiger has a checkerboard decal, as seen on my 63 Tiger below, an American has a stars & stripes theme. I think only the Typhoon and possibly the Standard American had painted fenders that year. -Adam

I don't remember seeing a decal on it before I took the paint off. Also they had a 20 tooth cog on the brake that they had made into a 10 tooth skiptooth. I've had the bike for over 15 years myself.
