Still working on the Sturmey Archer - not shifting. Rest of the bike is done. Had it for about a year now and can't leave it alone. It's like a bug bite!

That is so cool. I love those Schwinn Racers; I rarely see the older ones. Love it!!!
Very nice bike. The SA hubs get the old lube hardened up and it keeps it from working properly. I've had some luck with liquid wrench, but taking it apart and freeing up everything might be the only way. I've had a 79 hub full of liquid wrench that still won't shift into first because the pawls won't open. It has to be opened up.
I love the front fender. nice old bike!
Sweet! Wish mine looked like that! I wonder what the Deluxe had extra besides the winged badge? Mine is a 57, standard Racer, but looks to have all the same equipment.-Adam

Stainless fenders? That's all I can tell.
