:21: Love it!

Late 90s VFR. Rust looks like it was just starting to take hold. I'm hoping the neck will work with my Klunker. Maybe the brakes too.

Thanks! Did some research, Hawthorne is '38 with built in drop ears.

Will do. It doesn't look like its been there long, can tell it's been spray painted. Bath comes tomorrow.

Picked up 2 last night and another surprise this morning. 1938? Hawthorne roadster, soon to be Klunker 1939ish Elgin long tank curved seat post Dyno BMX find in the river on a ride this morning!

Was wanting to get in on this BO. Have had some parts collecting for a couple years. Didn't have a good frame to build on. Found one last night.

Thanks! I didn't do any painting on this one. I have 5 hours just cleaning the rust off the wheels... Since the chrome was so rusted on this one, I attacked it with a brass wire brush and marvel mystery oil. In some circles it's frowned upon to use anything but spit shine on chrome because steel...

Still sorting this one, but cleanup is all done. 1938 Admiral badged Schwinn C model hanging tank.

This is cool. I'll be watching.

So I fell in love with the model C Schwinn's awhile back. Made it my mission to find one. After meeting another local collector, he showed me the 2 he had. After a year of thinking about them and other hobbies getting in the way, I decided it was time to make a move. A couple weeks back I bought...

Added a new one to my fleet of Schwinn ballooners. '54 Leader, been trying to get this one from my cousin since he scooped it up in front of me at a swap meet last year. I told him it will be mine someday, well it took a year but she's home now! Plan is to fix what needs fixin, clean it up best...

Nice. Sell that seat off the bantam to somebody missing a mini twin front seat... Not the correct pattern, but it's the same seat.

Changed some tires around for a different look this summer. Before After DX Hornet

Rear hub is a model c. I've figured out its a '27-'29ish based on the model c coming out in '27 and the paint scheme . Jon
