Give you odds that, the rear is only black b/c he's slid on the org whitewall so many times it was trashed. ;)

I'd give odds that even china made Schwinn's are universal from 60's up. It's such a simple, heavy duty and compact design there's hardly a way to make it better. I have 1995 and 2002 china cheapie cruiser Schwinn's and it looks identical to my older bikes.

Would not be 1927, Ballooners didn't happen till 33-4. Accordingly euro's were doing it and Schwinn copied it. It's prob prewar though, for reverse drop-outs, yet, some companies were making reverse drop-outs like this has, in the 40's too. Regardless for 50 bucks it's a bargain.

So, here's a stroke of luck for ya. I just ran across this at the bay. Not found online, a 1951 Schwinn catalog from a hardware store, no less. The whole 6 page catalog calls em all 'Ace'. So, that's prob the hardware store's or moreover, what Schwinn said their wholesale line was called that...

That being the case, toss a springer and go then, I think you're tossing good money away. Just in parts, b/c Schwinn flat bar tanks are so spencive, prob $400-500 + (in parts) but if you stick an original fork, maybe $500-700? yet with cheap fork, more like 'rider's choice', the down side comes...

Humm, yeah, that's a good question,. er, point. A girl springer with longer neck than an boy's would have to have a longer fork set and truss bars too.

That's really unusual. fork gone but tank is there, while the norm is missing tank. . An $200-300 tank at that. All of the Schwinn balloon 26" repop spring forks will fit that, even the ones that Pacific cycle are making for Schwinn's new classics in china today. Most of the alternative...

Old school, As found, except padded seat and rear rack,, more than 20 years ago, 61 Hornet with apes. And when I was just a squirt, to little to be bad but, before the invent of 20" sting ray types, this is what the true 'Bad boy's' were sportin in L.A. way back then. Black Schwinn's wit apes...

The Cw after serial number has been evidenced to be post war. " Serial number is: G47843 with a circled w at the end." The majority post war era drop out down tubes (chain stay, rear) are not straight like yours which puts it very close to 45-ish range. The citing's add that the letter...

Mid 50's straight bar and If your color is balanced where I'm seeing an original color of sea green under the head badge, without a wielded kick stand would been a Hornet. and Deluxe if ya had org springer and chain guard.

Their newest release. Personally I like the 2nd part, another song that's jammed into the video but short, like it's unfinished er somtin. But, after watching the 1st part the 2nd becomes funny.

And yet, last week she received an e-mail from an attorney in NY who's very well known in the entertainment industry, Represents several groups who have world renown notoriety. partnered with a large group of the same in Beverly Hills and New York. He got a reference to listen to the online...

In that case, I'm adding Snyder to my list of well built frames that me likes. Albeit, the only thing i recall about rollfast in the 60's was nickname of 'rollworst'. Obviously this frame and any like it was good stuff :)
