I couldn't read through all the grunge. I don't know whether I should give it the steel wool treatment or not. That logo is kind of hard to read even clean. The best match I saw was the vintage 1958. What fun. I will probably have a snowball's chance in hell of ever finding original parts unless I get real lucky on Ebay while I have the spare change. Good winter project to go with the Schwinn Super Sport. My wife will know when I am home, just listen for the crash, tink, (4 letter word of your choice)....YES, it fits. -- Just Bill again |
