I don't know much about these bikes (any of em),but I got them from a friend recently here locally fo ra song (actually,for helping him move,LOL!).
The Schwinn (build date was sometime in 1968 according to the vin #'s):

Needs a total resto/rebuild. I'm thinking a nice build for my GF when she moves up this way later towards Fall,maybe a ratty custom :)

The next 2 are actually a matched set of his and hers. Headbadges say BF Goodrich and Challenger,chain stays say Monterey,both are SS's.

A CCM I picked up at a flea market recently. I had actually never heard of the company until I found the bike. I liked the vintage look with the light (which I'm sure probably didn't come on it,LOL) and the curve in the top tube. This one's in better shape,despite the half stripped paint job (which looks to be a poor rattlecan job,not having been masked off very well) and dry rotten tires (which hold air very well),and I'll be riding it today at the school's track with my son. I'm thinking a rebuild with a slightly custom flair...

OLD bikes are hard to come by around here,and when I find em,not sure I want to stray too far from a resto,but I'm thinking about fitting some new older-styled frames/bikes into the budget (eg: Huffy Cranbrook,some of these new Wallymart Schwinns-I'm disabled and on a fixed income,getting ready to go through a divorce,so yeah,budget's there,but not livin' large on it :lol: ),getting LOTS of killer ideas and inspiration from here :D
