little skip tooth

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

when my boss found me this bike for $7, the chain was rusted solid. So it's been soaking since last October. While it was soaking I bought a small tooth-count chain ring from someone here on the forum for easier pedaling. Well here it is mounted up. I like the look much better than the Huffy sprocket I was using in the interim. I also painted white diamonds on the crank arms to match the ones on the seat tube.

I preserved the previous owners 4 paint jobs (yellow, black, blue and red) by sanding off loose paint and spraying with clear.

oh ya, one more weird thing... both pedals are left hand thread. How weird is that?

anyone know what kind of bike this is?

Wow I bet that is easy to pedal. I have girls skiptooth chainring that I plan on using and it is a little smaller.

thanks Uncle Stretch. ya cman it is really easy to pedal. I like my cruisers easy, and now with my blown out back I need them that way in order to keep the seat low and cool looking.

Looks like a pre-war Schwinn DX frame, '40 or '41. Gary
