I have a question about my Schwinn Tiger bicycle.?

Question

I have an early 1950s Schwinn Tiger 2-speed says Aviation Corp by Bendix on shifter. Does it have the same chain guard as any other Tiger? Is this a common equipped bike or not? How rare is it?

Answer 1

Yes, it has the same chainguard. The 2 speed kickback hub was a common feature on the bike.

Important to note... I don't think the Tiger was made until about 1964. I suggest checking the serial number with one of the various sites that have Schwinn info.

EDIT: I was thinking of the Li'l Tiger which was a kids bike in the 60s. The Tiger is a cheap atb today. The Tiger was an adult bike up to about 1962.
