Thought I'd post some pics of my original paint 1940 Schwinn superior track bike. The seat is funky.. I like the sleek frame of this light weight survivor racing bike...;0 enjoy.

Didn't know that any Superiors ever came with the big bottom brackets for one piece cranks.

It looks like it has rear facing rear dropouts like a Superior or an early New World. I would be interested in the serial number as it might help to further ID this bicycle.

Cool! What size is the seat post?

 

[redline1968]

The seat post size is 1.25 in. Fluted crank was a option for the bike. Maybe I'm wrong. Any ideas

Must have posted it in the wrong section lol

Didn't Superiors have the larger thin-walled tubing and larger seat post?
@Schwinn499 ?

I believe so.

Does the bike have a "cro-mo" decal on the seat tube right above the bottom bracket?

It appears to be a New World Racer:

New world racer is cool. My book is a collection of ads that I went by and I probably got confused. Lol I don't remember seeing a decal there most of the decals flaked off.
