39 Cycleplane

[rigid76]

Hey guys I've been out of the hobby for a very long time 25+ yrs, and this baby has just been hanging from hemp ropes in my garage. Well I'm fired up again, thanks to Darcie and Nick and this forum. So I cut the ropes today and pulled down my baby. I had lots of bikes back in the day but downsized and only kept one for myself and one for my wife. This is mine, a 1939 Schwinn Cycleplane, it's original with lots of patina just how I like them. Looking forward to going on some rides and meeting some folks here on The Cabe. Time to get busy repacking grease and cleaning decades of dust off!

Oh shes a beauty! Definately needs to be ridden! The cyclone ride Mike mentioned is the 1st sunday of the month. We meet in long beach. Dont be suprised if you dont get much fanfare on the cabe, most here dont like schwinns. I love them! Buy what you like, ride what you buy!

That is a beauty. Take some pics once it is all cleaned up. I can just imagine how much that paint shines.
