Oh boy, you are dealing with the famous AZ SUN crackle tape. Spray it down with WD-40 and see if that it does anything for you.😛
When I was a kid I liked to experiment with things. Spray it down with lighter fluid and then light it on fire.
Well you hardly ever see a track bike with an actual drop out rear fork end. looks like the seat stay bridge is drilled for fenders but I can’t see if there’s a hole in the chain Stay bridge.
When I was looking for information I came across all their tires that are currently made. They do have a line of mountain bike tires and I think that name is one that I came across. If you like knobby tires it might be worth checking them out. I guess the only way to actually date those tires...
Schwinn middleweights were on the streets in the summer of 1954. The tires on those were tornadoes. Since that tire has the pie marking, let’s assume that tire was made in the third quarter of 1961. Let’s also assume good year and continental are using the same dating method.
Did you use a little WD-40 along with the heat gun? Once you get an edge up put a drop or two at the edge and keep it wet as you heat and peel up. that’s made it easy for me with some of the tape and other crap that customers put on their machines when they come in for a refurb.
I noticed that dropout in the sellers eBay listing. 😟
One of the reasons I like Schwinns. 😜 The good is the frame is Black! Do a hot OA soak on just the rear fork ends in a small bucket for 2/3 hours. Rinse, blow dry and then wipe in some Phosphoric acid metal prep. Then hit the dropouts with...

By the 1980s, CCM could no longer keep up with what riders wanted. “When the 10-speed upgrades hit the market in the 1970s, CCM had already gone through a series of different ownerships and the quality of the product began to...
Pretty nice refurb on that little guy. The balloon models were pretty much phased out in 1957, so this has to be an earlier model. Either a 1952 or a late 53 stamped serial number for a 1954 model. Another serial number that was repeated multiple times.
08/01 to 08/07/1952--- D04962 ---...
Since your head tube is the new EF'd piece with punched out nubs for the top and down tubes, did you check out the tube joints to see if they were EF'd to the head tube? I can't tell from any of the posted pics.
Here's a 42 New World, SN JO9514, where the head tube and tube joints all EF'd.
Maybe contact Continental and send them a picture of the tire and dating code to see if anyone can give you an answer.
Continental tire manufacturing makes Continental tires, but also makes the Uniroyal and the General Tire brand.
Those are pretty cool looking tires! I’ve never seen one before, even in the 60s. It almost looks like a studded tire from the side, got a picture of the tread.
That list was published in October 1941. Everything on that list was Null after March-Sept. 1942 with the government restrictions on bicycle manufacturing. Then Schwinn only built cycle trucks and the restricted Victory New Worlds.
What I don’t understand is having the cables running over the top of the bars and behind. I suppose if you like getting your wrist his arms tickled that’s the Way to go!
Go thru this thread. I found the guy that's in Utah that used to sell on eBay. Rustjunkie posts the info. He supplied the stencils for Dgoldman's piece above.

I grew up riding a 1964 Flambo Lime that had the front left lever and that's what I'm still acclimated to. When I bought a Honda Hog everything was different. 🙃
There’s a 1948 for sale right now here on the Cabe. The asking price is 1650. Go down to the classified sections and look in the archives and the bikes for sale complete to get an idea what everybody’s asking.
Probably not with that limited supply of information and pictures. The C serial numbers were used countless times over the years. Where is the serial number located? If it’s on the left rear drop out there’s a chance it could be a 1952 or 1953.
I looked up bike licensing for cities in Maricopa County quite a few years ago and couldn't find anything that was currently active or in force, or when they quit licensing bikes.
Arizona is a right-to-work and a right-to-ride state! Those laws are still in the books. 🤣
I have a vivid memory of having my new 64 bike licensed in the summer of 1964 at the city of mesa fire department located on Center Street. It was a Saturday at the brand new fire station when they had a bicycle licensing day for one dollar. everyone was lined up in the driveway getting their...
There have been at least 10 war time K serial numbered pieces documented on the Cabe. @Chadillac Pull the fork and see if your head tube was made out of two rolled pieces with an EF'd seam front and back and two punched out nubs for the top and down tube joints. All these K bikes have had EF...
Here's a shot of the 60's Schwinn Northroad (top) compared to the somewhat current Northroad bars being sold and tagged by Sunlite. Both are 22.5 wide C-C. The pull back is considerably longer and the bends are tighter to keep the 22.5 " width.
Those look like the later Northroad style bars used on the 56-7 and later Corvettes and lightweight tourist models and had a 2.5" rise. The Jags originally had the style were the pull back was almost straight back.
The vast majority of Schwinn built bikes were electro-welded and this actually started to show up in 1940 and then progressed during WWII and post war. By the 60's just about every frame component was EF'd. The few hand-built models were the exception.
1961 was the last model year that had a...
