Purchased at a garage sale, ran the serial number and its dated September 28Th, 1959. Everything was painted over so I am curious on what model it is. After stripping the paint off I found that the fenders, chain guard and frame all were matching original color. Saddle is a Brooks B33 or possibly an earlier Wright. If you have any information or knowledge about this bike it would be greatly appreciated!

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

It's a Schwinn B6 model. You're missing the fender light and the seat and "Lowrider" rims aren't original but it's still a very cool old bike! Congrats!! Oh, that stem bolt isn't right either...

I think your date may be wrong though... http://www.re-cycle.com/History/Schwinn/SwnB_Serial.aspx

the serial number of the bike is j934057 and according to recycle that translates to
09/24/59 ------------------ J932349 ------------------- J935852

i believe the stem bolt is off of a Schwinn runabout, and I'm dying for someone to take those wheels off my hands
