I picked this relic up from Craigslist Thursday because I recognized some familiar and interesting parts under those 5 layers of paint.
I dated the bike as a April '79. DQXXXXXXX. I didn't think the rack was used that recently.
It came with set of S-7s Bendix Coasters with heavy duty spokes that are also painted multi tone, so I put on a 26' HD Bendix HD wheelset that came from a '70s CCM tandem that I had.
Clean up went a little quick and I missed finding any decals indicating the model.
I can tell you that it rides like a Schwinn though, as I was out on it a lot on Sunday grabbing some pictures.
All the brite work cleaned up well, but the fenders have a couple of dents that need tending to.
