These rate up there as one of my best Bike finds, I bought a schwinn Tornado from a picker the other day, an older man was watching me load it and proceeded to follow me away from the pickers shop, He told me he had 2 bikes in his sisters garage I might like. Well today I took a ride to see what I thought would be 2 average bikes, Boy was I shocked!
They appear to be same vintage with original accessories, grips, Tires that blow up and hold air, The Womens bike does not have a headbadge but rather a painted headbadge with different graphics, I would like to know more about that paint scheme. These photos are just out of the garage, I will post more after a good wash
Here is the Men's
Is this a horn/whistle, both bikes have one embossed ELGIN
ELGIN Grips
The Women's, NOTE the painted on "headbadge", color is carried on throughout bike
Nice rear Light, is battery powered but has a wire running down to rear hub ?
Floating Hub ?
