Got this bike from eBay with local pickup but haven't had much luck with finding out the model. serial # shows 3/8/1960 off of classic Schwinn.com but the photos didn't show this one. only the speedster was close.

Stainless fenders. Nice. Not sure which model. Might be a Suburban or Collegiate. You need to go to TR Findley's Schwinn catalog website to confirm which one. I don't have a link but I'll bet someone does. Gary
It's a Traveler, in pretty nice shape, the color should come back nicely with a good cleaning and waxing. Go easy on the decals though.

B607..... Thanks for the info. on that website it had better photos and found the racer in this photo, the decals on the top tube and the one on the seat tube with what looks like a top hat with a ring around it look the same so may have add on stainless fenders and chrome guard from another bike.
Wildcat.... You nailed it on the paint, I have cleaned some of the paint and tiptoed around the decals and its looking ok so far just haven't had much time to spend on it.
