Found this on local Craigslist advertised as an "Antique Schwinn great for yard art". I had to rescue it from being condemned to a life of further abuse. The previous owner had painted to match his house and had it parked in front by a flower bed. They were moving and it did not match the new house. I think it is a 1952 Panther or Autocycle. The butchery is on the chainring where the owner before him cut off every other tooth to make it work with the skiptooth JC Higgins rear wheel. I can see black paint under the red rattlecan. He was able to find the original front struts and gave them to me. I am torn between re-doing it and parting it out. I am afraid the cost to redo would be over it's value. Any advice?
Why? Why? Why?
The left rack support is cobbled together
Something dubious done to the frame here
Skiptooth Higgins wheel. Anybody want to trade for an S-2?
