Schwinn???

Someone told me this might be a 1941 Schwinn Dx, what do you guys think? and what size skiptooth chain does it need?

Not sure of the exact year, but definitely pre-43 DX, so 41 is a good guess. 56-link skiptooth chain would be right, you might get away with a 55-link. It all depends on how many teeth are on the rear cog. That part I cannot see.

That's a '40. You can tell by the down tube. '39 is straight, '40 has shallow curve, '41 has stronger curve. Gary

Thanks!! I'm currently looking for the missing parts. Hopefully I can get the frame cleaned up and re-painted soon.

Not sure if this is the right chain guard or not.

saw it for sale thought I would pass it along.

It's a Schwinn Guard, Post-War, not Pre-War, like the bike.

The '40 DX had a plain looking guard, but the '41 used the "bird wing" that attaches to the seat stay at the back and has a clamp up front. Much nicer and sleeker looking guard. I'd post a pic for you but they screwed up photobucket so bad I can't even figure out how to use it anymore. :x
Schwinn also made chrome repops of the birdwing that are really nice. Gary

Do you happen to know what the badge looks like?

It couldof been one of many similar to this, with the exception of the Cycle Truck badge.
