Re: '52 Schwinn Spitfire
Nice bike! You might double check your year though, the Spitfires were a straight bar frame until '57.

Re: '52 Schwinn Spitfire
Good eye Udall. Since you called that, I did a little searching and I've referenced the link below for the production year by serial number (B38876).
Since the serial number has only 5 numerals, I think it's falls as early as March 1952 as this guide reads or as late as (as you said) January 1957.
Mine is a 24-inch. They too had straight bars until '57?

Nice bike AND scenery.
DId you use electrical light or is the bike standing in a reflection of the sun?

Re: '52 Schwinn Spitfire
They re-issued your specific serial number for early March of '52, early October of '53, and late January of '57 (which is where I suspect your's falls).

Not a problem. I hope I wasn't coming across as that guy. Beautiful bike and a great place for the pic. Here is my '55 Spitfire.

Re: '52 Schwinn Spitfire
Again, I appreciate your knowledge...
Your '55 looks CLEAN! Is that also a 24"? (PS- I joined your facebook following last night. Cool stuff)

Re: '52 Schwinn Spitfire
Ah so...
It looked like a 'shopwindow'-reflection of the sunlight because of the shaddows surrounding the bike.
Very cool!
