Here´s my 1940 Schwinn DX

I just found this build thread and read everything & watched the videos - OMG !!!!!:113: This is so cool ! I love the 20´s-30´s look . I already searched for Briggs flathead lawnmower engines…Thanks for the inspiration , your Bike is so awesome !

Thanks man, that´ll be great !

Thanks buddy, I appreciate it but I´m from germany :)

It´s an east german produced foglight from the late 50´s or early 60´s. No function yet, though. I´m planning to put a switch on top of it to operate a battery powered torch maybe.

A little update : Bought a headlight from a french motorcycle, probably early 50´s and added the fork reinforcements. Looks better with the bigger headlight now.

Yep ! That´s the one !:) I think a tractor or fog light would look great.

Thanks Deorman. Hmm, maybe you´re right. But I was thinking of a 4 1/2 inch diameter headlight, maybe 5 inch even. I´ll try that and see what´s cooler.

Just a little update. Mounted brand new Fat Franks and fabricated a laid back post to get that "Look". Also got another Brooks saddle in black. Now I´m looking for a new bigger headlight :) …and maybe other handle bars...

Yep, just a few little changes, like a laid back seat post and a bigger headlight and some new tires etc. nothing fancy.

Thanks Deorman ! So it´s from 2009 . I thought they introduced it earlier. But thanks, I appreciate your help. I couldn´t find any informations here in germany.

Hey folks, hope it´s the right section to ask this. I was wondering in which year my Schwinn Classic three was introduced ? Seems like from the late 1990s / early 2000 years ? I bought it at a flea market and the pre owner didn´t know either.Never seen another one like this in this black/gold...

Thanks everybody ! Yeah, it is a nice place !:thumbsup:

Thanks Pookie42 ! I appreciate it !
