Schwinn New World

Here's a pre-war New World, probably my last project of 2014. I spent the fall finishing up the bikes in my barn that needed building: Manton & Smith, 1959 Schwinn Tiger, and now an early 1940s Schwinn New World. I bought this bike as a "core" and have taken it down to the frame for re-building and clean up.

Here is the frame with a 1947 complete New World for comparison:

I also have a batch of really nice parts for this one:

The Sturmey Archer is an uncommon, aluminum alloy version of the AW hub with a 36 hole shell, dated 1954.
 
Still coming along. Lots of little jobs attached to this one, making it really slow going. The hub needed rebuilding and new pawl springs, which is always a pain. Also had to manufacture a few small parts for it, but nothing major. Starting to come together now. I still have to make some pinchbolts for the brake calipers and make an array of adjustments to make everything go smoothly.
