That’s definitely it! Tho it’s not clear what it provides clearance for.

Will list on EBAY soon

Nothing curious about it, hub and rest of bike have been rebuilt. Crusty spokes and rims were left alone as they are solid. Didn’t want...

I don’t think the bend was a clearance issue.. I believe it’s structural, adds strength so it doesn’t bend or flex..

Yes it’s a very cool old bike, including the bad welds. Yes the bikes been rebuilt. Front brake works but requires a little planning...

Number indicated 1952 on Schwinn date code sight

looking for any info on this weird brake arm “clamp “ on this old American flyer . Don’t know what purpose it could possibly serve...
