Frame was acquired from a Schwinn dealer that closed in the 1990s. These primer only painted frames were issued by the Chicago factory as warranty replacements. The particular frame is a warranty replacement for a 1980 27" wheel Schwinn Continental in frame size 22" (56cm). It was never build just stored and moved around over the years so it does have a couple of scuffs in primer, otherwise its new. Would make a great custom with 700C wheels or just keep it as a historical wall hanger in remembrance of the old made in USA Chicago Schwinn's.
