This 1962 Schwinn Tiger caught my eye at the West Seattle street fair. There’s something about the swooping line of that mid-century Schwinn frame that always attracts me.

I spoke to the owner, Jeff Bengston, of Bengston Woodworks, who was selling cutting boards and other woodworks made from salvaged hardwoods, and hails from Portland. He told me he got the bike in trade from a friend after doing some work, that it’s all original except the seat, and that he dated it by the serial number.
