B F Goodrich.... Prewar.??

[Jaxon]

Hi Guys,
I got this bike in trade yesterday. I think it is a prewar but not sure. It has a New Departure hub in the rear. What kind of tank would fit this bike? Any help with the year and value would be great. Thanks....Jaxon

I think its a 1947 Columbia? The rear drop outs dont have dog ears for a drop stand..

Pull the cranks, the date will be right on them. Nice Schwinn score.

Definitely 40/41 Schwinn. Nice score!

very nice find Schwinn DX 40-41 the 39 had straight bottom bar

Bottom bar has shallow curve. I'd say '40. Gary
