Prewar CycleTruck

[Rotten_Spokes]

Here's my first CT she is rough but nothing that can't be fixed. This one I'll restore which I rarely do; won't do a to the T restoration as in not everything will be Cycletruck-specific. It's time I had a bike to roll around swap meets with and what better then one designed to haul stuff? Should have enough spare parts to get it rolling but I'll probably need to find a front fender for it, a front stand, and the basket mounts probably will use an old crate or something instead of a basket.

It's just that small hole and it's not brittle around it so it's not as bad as it looks but it will be fixed kinda expect some serious damage on these especially since this one was used in a factory in Detroit.

Schwinn?

Do you know which factory it was used in? If there are old photos, you might find it in one of them. It looks like they welded something, maybe a rack, to the rear.

Yeah Schwinn although I don't know what factory, a friend sold it to me who lives in Detroit he saved it from scrap about ten years ago. Being Detroit it'd be like finding a needle in a haystack to try and figure out what factory used it.

Now it's time for some welding, weld the bottom fender brace in and seal the crack on the seat tube.
