This one is much longer. I dropped the lime rims & ww's (thank you girl's 20" cranbrook) on last night outside with the skeeters bitin and one light bulb.
I woke this morning and was tossing the toasted wheelset in the trash pile when i noticed that sneaky s word. All over the tires and s-7 rims. Any id help on these three frames would be great. They all need lots of work.

Any Ideas? Everyone that stops by says schwinn, but no one knows for real.
Uh oh..
Uh oh..
I don't recognize the gold frame, but it's definitely not a Schwinn. Just look at the weld joint.
The two red ones do appear to be Schwinn StingRay frames.
Just look at the weld joint and you can see........?
I mean, the welds are seriously wonky. Espically around the bb / chain stay cluster.
Put one of the red frames next to the gold one. Then look where the top and bottom tubes join to the head tube. You will see how the Schwinn welds are super smooth and curvy. The gold one just has the tube butted into the head tube and probably welded from the inside of the head tube.
Someone was selling one in flamboyant red, id say the two red ones are the same as that. Probaly available if anyone has interest. Ive got 0 experience with shipping.
Ok. Plus the schwinns are much shorter. The orange one fits me well.
Oh yea. The schwinns look like the electro forged varsitys. Pretty. I can see the better quality of the schwinn vs the orange frame.
You will find that most people on the street think that ALL older bikes are Schwinns.
Columbia, I was thinking Playbike, but those seem to have canti frames. -Adam
Ive had a playbike or two. Looks like similar build quality, but again, i think its longer.
How about the "E" on the bb or the numbers on the rear dropout?
