Found me an old Schwinn

[ratttrike]

What do I have here gang? My first Schwinn find. Have no idea what I’m looking at. Roughly what year was this bike produced?

Looks like the serial starts with K9? If so, 1959.

I would use some weslys bleach white on that front tire, should fix it right up.....Joking aside that bike has awesome patina I would just get the mechanicals right and roll it as is.

Not a bad idea!

Try to find a size marking on what's left of that rear tire. I don't think those are even Schwinn rims, but if they are, they may need S-7 tires (1 3/4", not interchangeable with standard decimal sizes).
