Hi Cameron – looks like you are in need of a few more ladies frames! I restored this one several years ago. It sat in my friend’s driveway for many years (It was his wife’s bike new) and was pretty rough. The chrome was a mess. I replaced the crank (found one on ebay), but everything else is original. Did some serious work with steel wool. The paint was in remarkable shape in spite of the neglect and really shined after a good cleaning and polishing. This was a full monty overall: every bearing, every cable, tape, etc. The original tires were still serviceable and would have been replaced had we kept it, but I did replace the tubes – crazy. So I built this for my wife and it turned out that the frame was too big for her. I hate when that happens! Anyway, another friend of ours now has it. Rock solid and will last forever – hey, it’s a Schwinn!
