Cruisin' on my Bluebird

This is the first bike I owned, a Schwinn B6, only because I won it!
I think it was 1948, and it was stolen within a year.
This had no cyclelock on it.
My younger brother is in the pic with me.

The Schwinn Red Phantom with a oem cyclelock that came later
in 1950, by working in bicycle shop at 35 cents an hour to pay for it.
And I don't have a pic of it, but I recently found another and post it here.

Gee, there was crime in the 40's? Great picture and I'm sure that for the short time you owned it you must have been the envy of the neighborhood!

Exactly what I was thinking. I thought everyone was 'Leave it to Beaver' honest back then. I hope you find one that is exactly like the one in the picture. Very cool.
 
Tinker,
the one i had was a 1946 and it went to NY.... kind wish i had kept it...the buyer didnt like it as it was not 100% original.....
