Brand new here so be gentle with me :lol:
Picked up this bike today, sold as a Schwinn but from a little research I believe it's a Murray sold thru Sears in either '53 or '56.
Not sure if it's a Frankenbike or is original, not that it matters.... I'm looking forward to cleaning her up for summertime ice cream runs with my kids.
BB shell is stamped: MOS-M, CD502 227 18289.
What I think I've decoded:
MOS: Murray of Ohio SUpply
-M: either 1953 or 1956, there's conflicting info out there.
CD502: 502 is the code for sears
227: model number for Sears but don't know what it is.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
