Cadillac

[thepostman]

Found this 16" Chicago Cycle Supply Co. Cadillac at a flea market. If the serial number is the same as Schwinn then it's a 1952 model. It came with the 20" whitewalls. I had it sand blasted and I spray-bombed satin black. I'm liking it the way it sits, but my 8 yr old wants different pedals and a banana seat.

After the sandblaster

Duncan, I can't get in, do you have another picture?

 

[duncan]

Its a bit of a project

 

[thepostman]

Shoot, at least you have a Bus. This one used to be mine. I thought about asking if he would be interested in a trade. pretty sure I couldn't actually go thru with it.

Try it with the original bars. That'd look sweet. Of course, you'll have to pass it by the daughter first.

Finally put the head badge back on.

This is the front fender that came off this bike; It didn't come with a back one. I'd like to find a match to this or a different pair. Fenders would add more space for some pinstripe goodness.
