I.D. help

[Arkos]

Picked this up not too long ago, the owner didn't know much about it, told me it was an old schwinn but I would like to know more because he wasn't even positive about that. No badges and I haven't found a serial number . Any ideas or suggestions?

looks like a modern bike to me. possible someone's "build". only thing that looks Schwinn is the chainring. I like it.

Yeah starting to think the same thing. Still a score for $100, brainstorming some ideas for a complete rusty-rat makeover

I dig it as is... Especially for $100! The only suggestion I'd have would be a different seat : )

Nice find Arkos.
I think what have there might be an old Evans or Rollfast frame and possibly tank.
The rear drop outs were my first clue with the two fender/rack/guard mount holes behind axle.
It's hard to tell from the pic,but if that's a metal tank it would be a real nice bonus.
Here are a couple threads that might help.

The dropouts sure look like Evans. Definitely not a Schwinn bike and the tank looks like it doesn't fit or is missing the light assembly.

Where would the serial location be on an evans?

There's no serial info for Evans, they only made bikes from 1954-62. -Adam

Ah okay thanks
