Free Schwinn frame has serial number EW800899. Searched all the known sites and no match for the two letter code, but the database search on schwinncruisers tells me it's a 1959. Number is only under the bottom bracket. Is this correct?
Yep ! Agreed, with CurtisFox... Housepaint, applied to many things over the years, may even be considered a protective coating...A lot of times the over paint can be lifted with brake cleaner, on a rag .............Curt
It was made by Schwinn.Kind of kool i have a Schwinn girls bike, paint and everything says Schwinn except the head badge. It's oval but says Our own Hardware, turned out to be a 48...........Curt
