I didn't get a chance to ride it, but I did roll it out for some pics. I love the original paint on this bike!

Gotcha, still a badge Schwinn used for their Chicago cycle bikes

Cool, thanks for the edjamacation, I guess the correct thing to say is that the badge in not original rather than stating it's wrong.

That's a beauty KF! We should start a DX thread, LOL! I haven't taken mine out in a while, here's some old pictures I have of my 47 DX, I hope you don't mind if I show them. I need to take it out and get better pictures.

Sweet DX's guys.
 
You sure found a nice one. Being a cheaper bike, I suppose they were more common at one time. Not so common now. My restored '41 with the short 16" frame. Gary



You know it's funny you mentioned that, mine is all original, the person who purchased this DX had some extras added on at the shop. Things like full locking springer, B-6 front and rear fenders. Kind of unique I think. I guess he wanted a DX, but with some bells and whistles. Ha! Ha!
 
Finally took the 52 Schwinn DX out for a ride. Man this is geared high. This is a skiptooth, but the equivalent gearing is 56T front x 14T rear. Still a great ride.
