any ideas on a possible year?

 

[Filthyrat666]

heres the other two bikes
this one is the 49 schwinn

and this one says flying eagle but im not sure what year it is

That Schwinn looks like a middleweight which would put it at 56 or newer.

On the Schwinn, look at the rear dropout on the brake side to see the serial number, near the rear axle. It should have a letter and 6 numbers. We can get the exact date for it then. That last frame is cool, I don't know what it is though, looks English built.

The Flying Eagle looks to be from the Daimler/Puch/Steyr collective, who built most of those Euro/cruisers, as well as bikes for Sears and countless other badges. Looks close to my Royce Union, somewhere in the early-mid 60s. -Adam

That Schwinn has a later chain guard.I think they stated using those in the 60s.

Also, that teal (& rust) colored bike is Murray built, and may have a Murray date code stamped on the BB which could tell you the year, and possibly what badge it was built as. -Adam

Thanks for all the info guys, sorry I've been busy trying to get some work done on my 41 Chevy "in the background of the first pic". I'll try to get the numbers from the frames over the weekend
