I pretty much know what's a dx frame, straight bar and cantilever but what is a B6 frame

 

[Chips_Mahoy]

My B6 is a cantilever frame.

According to this page http://re-cycle.com/History/Schwinn/SwnA_Models.aspx B-6 were made from 49-51. Any special details to ID it as a b6

A B6 frame is a standard cantilever balloon frame. The only thing I can think of that would be different is a B6 frame will have a little tab welded inside the head tube to accomodate the slot in the lower cup used on locking spring forks. Many lesser models didn't have the tab, especially after about '53. Gary

I had a feeling that you were going to be the one with the answer. Do you have any pictures of this?

 

[B607]

A pic of the tab inside the head tube? I don't have a pic but will try and take one if that's what you want. Gary

 

[axsepul]

Yes

Ax, here are pics I just took of the tab for a locking springer from a B6 frame. The tab is toward the bottom of the head tube on the left side. Gary
