1966 Schwinn Racer De Luxe Restoration - Copper Tone!! - A gift from Joel to his Brother Jeremy

1966 Schwinn Racer De Luxe Restoration
Bicycle After Restoration
This is a 1966 Schwinn Racer De Luxe in for restoration.  It is a gift from Joel to his brother Jeremy.  The Racer is in a little bit rough shape to start but there is a diamond in that rough.  The color is my favorite Schwinn color, the copper color. The Racer will get a complete restoration with new cables, housing, bearings, and pads.  The headlamp will also be converted to battery powered.  The Racer has 692 miles on the speedometer and 53 years on its life, I think there are many more of each to come!
