Congrats Kingfish. Awesome bike. Gary

You need some truss rods too. See the little bracket attached to the head set? You need 2 rods, and the special bolt and wedge nut. Gary

Those Torrington bars are worth half the price of the bike. Gary

Agree with Jarod. 36-38 double bar roadster. No more double bars after 38. It's likely a BA-67 or a C-67. Guard don't match catalog pic for 37 or 38 so maybe a 36. I don't have a 36 catalog. The paint job is what gets me. I've never seen graphics like that on any Schwinn. I like it. I...

Contact the Fender Doctor. Wes Pinchot is his name and he lives in the Chicago area. I don't have any other contact info. I know he can roll stainless fenders because he did one for me once. Gary

Original fenders are stainless, not chrome. Have the fenders rolled and polished and they will look brand new. Gary

To me, an antique is 100 yrs. old or older. Vintage is 30-100. Gary

If this bike would have come with a tank and rack it would have been a Streamliner. I believe the Leader is the stripped version of that model. Gary

I have mostly Schwinn's. Downstate from the Schwinn factory...they were the most common bike around here. I was also the victim of propaganda on Saturday morning watching cartoons. I was 7 yrs. old in 1960. I'm brainwashed! Gary

Welcome. Where is Whiskey City? Louisville, KY?? Gary

Just a guess...H.P. Snyder. I have one very similar and that's what I was told. Gary

I found two frames in the woods one time. I fixed one up and had tons of fun with it. Great find. Any bottles? Gary

All the bike stuff you've dragged home and you've never found a kickback? Amazing. I'll bet I've owned 20 of them. They were all over up here. Best buy was a yellow band at a flea market for $1. Gary

Your old original 2 speed probably needs rebuilt. Surprised it still works. Might have been serviced sometime recently too. You'll get used to braking with the 2 speed. You'll plan your braking to keep from shifting as much. Also, if you get a front brake and use it, you won't have to shift...

It looks like a Jiffy kick stand. Look on the back and see if it says B.C. Jiffy. Harley Davidson used Jiffy stands, they were out of Chicago. If it's a Jiffy it was patented in 1934. Gary

Wow! Imagine what it looked like on the streets in '41 with all the bikes looking like that. Where's my time machine? Gary

I was at work one day and was bead blasting a head light. I had a rusty chain sitting there in a box I was going to work on later with a wire wheel. I left for a minute and a girl I worked with saw the chain and put it in the bead blaster to "help me out". Chain was beautiful but I could...

I use dental tools for wood carving. The dental tools take 40 psi. Gary

A "D" model would be a DX. That's a B model. Probably a BA-97. Gary

Is it still in business? Gary
