Prewar DX

[Pantmaker]

I snagged this yesterday after convincing the seller to leave it whole...a few minutes after he started listing the parts for sale on ebay. It looks like a 39 DX. Frame has a little bumper for the fork. Love the cool tank. I haven't seen one painted in this pattern before. It has a Schwinn Pullman badge. I am getting the seat too. Rear rim was broken but hub is original. I'm pumped.

I couldn't resist! I didn't see this thread. Got it for $450 too...not bad.

I hope it's safely home or on its way....

As I posted in the other thread I'm thinking maybe '40. I don't see the built in drop stand 'ears' which are unique to the '39. Serial number ? V/r Shawn

Shawn, I wondered the same thing but I also thought all 40s have a curved down tube. I'm really not sure. Still a cool bike.

Looks like a perfect candidate to "preserve the crust"

Me too that is why this bike is a little confusing and a serial number might sort it out-transitional model? V/r Shawn

Yeah I'm gonna say late 39 or early 40. Doesn't really matter, it is a cool ride either way.
