Picked up from the local CL for cheap to build a neighborhood cruiser. Looks like someone took this bf Goodrich, repainted it and dressed it up with parts from a newer schwinn. Need some hep figuring out a year for the frame and fork. Thanks!
Bf Goodrich help with year
- Thread starter tuga
- Start date

I'm guessing it's a Schwinn made BF Goodrich. The early 50's that start with an "H" have 6 numerals following, so it's probably a lot earlier than that. Very nice find!
It would make a great klunker!

frame and fork are prewar, chain guard is a prewar aftermarket, not sure about rear fender, stem or wheels. all other stuff is post war (60's?).

Frame/fork/badge/stem = nice find!
We don't see many prewar cantilever frames posted!
You've probably already received PMs about selling it.
I don't think you can know exactly what year before 1948, but it should be between '38-'42. Apparently the 'H' prefix may indicate later in that range...

Pre war with high number "H" serial. I'd bet the farm that's a '41. My '41 is # H28926. Pre war cantilever frames only came on deluxe bikes. B607 or B707. Looks like the fork and rods are original to the frame also. I'd guess you could probably get $150 for just the frame. Gary
Could be, not sure. Gary
