Anybody saw this Schwinn on ebay? It had no tires. I won the auction with a .99 cent bid ! I went to pick it up this morning. It was relisted because of a non paying bidder. It looked like it had spent a few moths outside-lots of rusty chrome. I took it home and after a full grease pack and hours with brass wool and WD-40 and a set of tires I was going to put on my Varsity it rides like brand new! Better than my Varsity. Maybe I should sell it/ (who am I kidding you can't have enough Schwinns in the garage)
They owner also gave me this muscle bike for a few bucks. Can't pass up a cheap bike. It's an EXECUTIVE ?? Any ideas who made it ? Cottered crank sproket. Neat seat. Coaster brake with a front hand brake ?
Any thoughts before I part it out?

I'd keep it together, shine it up and see what's under the crud. looks like it's in good shape and original.
 
Keep that bike whole. I would .. :shock: OK do what you want to it
 
Yeah, I know.
It does have some really cool fenders. I'll probably shine it and park it with my other muscle bikes..
 
I'd say that little bike's too neat to break up! I want to say they came from Czecho-wherever, and sold under the Tyler badge and a few others. There are some threads about them, but I don't know where they are. -Adam

That's the smart thing to do :wink:
 
i had a ladies executive 60's ladies bike.
headbadge looked just like yours, but it said "made in w. germany"
i think that's the only part of the bike i have left :lol:
this bit of info may or may not help ya. i just thought i'd toss it out there.
 
I cleaned up the Executive muscle bike today. I know why there aren't a bunch of these around. What a cheapo bike! Micro thin plating.
Even the reflector faded to a pinkish color. Nice seat though. Interesting frame.
