Hi all, I just picked this bike up this morning on Craigslist (FREE). The serial # is FJ007485. I have figured out that FJ means June 1973 but i have no clue what Model it is. any info would help . thanx guy'z
I don't know what model that is, but that is one heck of a nice bike for FREE. There are a few guys on this forum, like Bill, who are into old Schwinn bikes and he should be able to tell you. Again, nice bike. Enjoy the ride.

George here are some more pic's , hope this helps
I have to agree, I know they used a couple of their Road bike models for touring models but can't remember which ones. All they did was put certain accessories on them to give them the look of touring models I believe.
This is definitely a great find for free
Good maintenance to your Bike, can make it like the wheels are, true and smooth!
That crankset looks like a good project to test the effectiveness of aluminum foil in removing rust.

Nice suggestion John! Also could try it out on the Front Derailler as well if it still functions good. Awesome restoration project as well as a nice bike to ride

Thanx Everybody, lots of good info. I am by no miens a bike mechanic. I have a few questions. 1st: do I need a cone wrench for the bottom bracket or can I use something else? 2nd: The bearings in the bottom bracket, are they caged or loose in there?
thanx again guy'z
