1965 Schwinn
A work in progress, has been for a few years now.. All dressed up as an American, but it's really a Typhoon middleweight.

Torpedo. I bought it sight unseen and I was a little disappointed that the kickstand had been cut off from the frame and the fender bracket between the chain stays had been modified.

A02459 August of 1953, older than I thought.
