58 Schwinn Hornet

[Scribble]

cman Already asked about the value of this bike, but I would like to know how to get the dents out of the fenders, which parts are missing were I can get the missing parts, how should I clean the bike so I don't wreck the decals. Basically any info you guys can give me on this bike

Definitely a cool bike. The pedals, seat and reflectors are obviously not correct. The stem might be original......middleweights had several different styles.

I would find a nice Schwinn cast one to replace it. Maybe some pedals but those ones are nice too. I would not worry about making it 'correct', just enjoy riding it.

You need to find out about that seat post doo-dad. Maybe at thecabe

Those are early oval grips. Came from a much older Schwinn. Used '41-'50 something. Gary

Probably is the original stem, lower end models like the Hollywood, Tornado, etc used the Wald stems. -Adam

So should I replace in with one of the cast stems, or should i keep the wald one ?

Personally. I'd leave it-"if it ain't broke..." I'd lose the reflector though! -Adam
