Memberred frame is in excellent shape 21 in I beleive
blue frame I believe is a 19 in see pics for measurements
blue frame is an older model from what I can tell from this site with a custom paint job and I dont believe the badging on the head tube is correct . maybe somone made there own creation lol . the red frame is a newer mode land badging looks to be correct by looking on this site as well. both frames are super light .

KeymasterThe blue one is definitely a bit of an oddball, but bassboat blue makes everything better. Good luck with the sales.

MemberWhat price are you asking for the Blue 19″ frame? I assume you’re OK with shipping? If you prefer pick-up, where are you located?
Thanks,

MemberI can ship on your dime , I’m located in pensacola Florida make me a responsible offer . I was asking 125.00 each
March 16, 2020 at 9:28 pm #5860bikeric
Member$125 each is a very fair price, especially for the blue one IMO. If it was a 17″ I would be jumping on it. Good luck with Sale.

KeymasterIt’s got the stamped dropouts, not forged, and extruded chainstay yoke, though.

MemberThe blue one is not a Factory IMO. It was a standard Homegrown repainted some time ago. The seatstays don’t look tapered either. A sure fire answer would be a picture of the weld on the seatstay. Homegrown’s are a single tube fully curved, but Factory frames are 2 seperate tubes (because they are tapered) that get welded together at the top. If its a Factory, the weld beads make a “T” shape with a bead lined up with the tire.

ParticipantBBB one looks like a 97 Factory, except the top tube “S” decal is black stripe like an Underground. Plus a few extra decals and Chicage head badge.
I’ve got a Factory BBB 97 and it has the cable stops on top of the top tube versus on the side like your frame.

KeymasterGood call on that. Probably the most subtle difference between non-factory and factory frames.
March 20, 2020 at 2:08 pm #5869kdub
MemberSo what does the term non factory/factory actually mean ?
thanks in advance
March 20, 2020 at 2:14 pm #5870livernose
ParticipantAs far as I know, Factory refers to the model ” Homegrown Factory” versus a regular Homegrown frame. It was a higher end model frame with higher end components. I have no idea why schwinn used the term “Homegrown Factory”. Somebody on this site probably knows.
