Auction score

[Euphman06]

Went to a nearby auction with a vague listing of "old schwinn bike". I asked for pictures but auctioneer emailed me back saying sorry no pictures. I figured I'd try it and see what it was and it ended up being this 1952 hornet with crash bars and exercise stand. Clean tank and rocket ray still works. Hopefully i can get the horn to work as well.

I like that sticker on the front fender

Original owner was a retired Air Force vet. He has another sticker PT-212 on the bike as well and a USAF sticker on the rear fender along with American flags here and there.

Great bike, I love the crash bars!

Truss rods and a drop stand....very cool.

Actually not a drop stand. It's an old school stationary exerciser thing. She got new rubber plus some washing. Eventually I'll get to completely go through it, but I'll ride it as she sits for now.

Got the horn working now! I'll have to dig into the mounted lights later to see if they can be saved or not.

I can see why an air force guy would like this, it's so......aerodynamic!
beauty!
