Cook Brothers vs Prewar Schwinn

[Robertk]

Very similar, right?!

 

[Wildcat]

Pretty close, the head tube angle is steeper on the Cook Bros.

 

[Robertk]

Yeah, definitely less rake on the CBR

 

[Dizzle Problems]

Wasn’t the cbr and laguna modeled after the Schwinns? I always thought they were

 

[jamesdart]

The looptail is awesome, but I think the schwinn is a better looking frame.

 

[SILVERKINGPC]

Very similar, right?!

Yes it is similar, but only if the bike on the right truly sports a prewar frame.
Doesn't look quite prewar Schwinn to me. Hmmmm.....

 

[Robertk]

Yeah it’s prewar.

 

[Dizzle Problems]

Yeah it’s prewar.

Model C, no? Straight down tube, pre ‘37

 

[Robertk]

Yeah, I would guess it’s about a ‘37. Pretty enduring design.

 

[SILVERKINGPC]

The new paint, parts and and low-res picture threw me off!!
Enduring design for good reasons!

Cook copied that year Schwinn.
