Seriously? Are they that hard to find? Expensive? I thought I saw a few of these frames around. I just want a bike to ride but I like the styling of old Schwinns. As far as putting the bar in I could probably do that myself. I've got welding equipment but yeah, I understand to do it properly these things should be braised.The Flying Star didn't have a bar, so I think the frame is strong enough without it, but I would put a bar in there just for looks. It would have to be shaped to fit, then get welded or brazed in. I'd have a shop do that, but it might be costly.
I'm still on the hunt for a frame like that over here.

Here's a 58 Tornado:
