Cool old three wheeler Schwinn bike. Found in shed. Son wanted to sell in garage sale and a nice old man came by and said do not sale that bike! LOL, told him to bad already sold it for $15.00.
Have a neighbor who puts the hoarders to shame. More than 2000 vintage records over there in excellent shape. Even found an old candy machine, when it took just a dime. Trying to get her to let American Pickers to come in now. Ha, wouldn't you know, I can't get an email through to AP's. Just love that show.
BicyclesThe precursor to the modern-day bicycle was the 1817 Draisine, named for it…
this bike is not from the 30s. It is from the 60s or 70s. It is missing one of the original back wheels, original seat, basket, chains, all form of brakes, pedals, gearshift, and lots of other things. I really don't think that it was originaly a 3 wheel because of the kick stand mount on it.
I agree with tterrag7991. It looks like I see welds or a brazing job on the frame.
We used to modify bicycle frames back in the 60's and they were acetylene welded or brazed.
