This is my mom's bicycle, I know it's an older Schwinn, but need help on identifying it further. It was in a fire last week and I am wanting to restore it. It was in really good condition before the fire. All I have done so far is wash it off. The last picture is the headlamp on it, the writing is 'delta rocket'. Any info on the age or where to get parts for it would be greatly appreciated.
I can't make out what your bike model name was... What's left of it is there on the chain guard but here's a link to help you date it: http://www.angelfire.com/rant/allday101/SchwinnCodes1.html/
Parts for both your bikes can be found here: http://www.memorylane-classics.com/
I'd guess around a 5oish Wasp. It has the deluxe chain guard and springer and Delta light. The two tone paint on the guard makes me think it was earlier 50s. I am so sorry there was a fire. I hope most everything washed off as nicely as the bike.
Did the lens on the Rocket Ray light survive?
heyslugger, no, unfortunately the lens is melted, it is all there, just melted some. Thanx for the help everyone, this is going to tske some time, but hopefully I can fix them both!
