Finally riding a big boys bike
Also brought home a new project. If I decoded the date correctly it is a 1947. I'm not sure if it is a St Croix as the chainguard doesn't have the logo.
The saddle is one I already rebuilt for another project. The whitewalls were put on to help keep it upright though I'm thinking brick colored tires. I have a set of NOS red grips ordered. My plan is a full service and detail to keep it in survivor condition.

Riding a '37 Dayton Super Streamline
I've already posted pics of this bike but this arrived Friday. I'm in the process of trying to buy another house and to be honest it was financially irresponsible of me to make this purchase but I just couldn't help it. Many of you know this bike was ended early on Ebay. I was watching a Bullnose the seller had listed and it was ended early. I called him and asked about it and he said someone made an offer and he sold it. I asked what other bikes he had and he mentioned the DX and Clipper project that he listed as well. Just out of curiosity I asked what the number would be on the Autocycle. Needless to say it was a number I couldn't pass up. His daughter is the one that handles his Ebay stuff and she told me she received many nasty emails about ending this auction early. She said she had people offer way more than I paid but to his credit he kept his word and did the deal. I just wanted to clear the air on this so people understand how this really went down. The seller set the price and I did not cajole the seller into ending the auction early. The Schwinn guys tell me this is only the second blue/blue/gold pins bike to surface. The other is the '39 canti 'Modesto' bike. V/r Shawn

Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
No, its not mine, and no, im pretty positive this isn't the modesto bike you speak of. So im just guna leave this right here. I tried hunting this one down. No luck. All i know is its in my state.
So as we have seen lately with numerous "rare" bikes including the other Elgin Gull that was found, the Arrow, and my Worlds Fair Pacemaker, there are more out there. The problem is, most of the other bikes that are unknown to us, the owners of them were unknown of the cabe. So how do we know a total of what exists? We won't ever unfortunately because some are still out there yet to be discovered, some are in hidden collections where the owners of the collections do not wish to share what they own. So really, there is no true answer.

Shawn that autocycle is gorgeous. That is my favorite two tone color, also like tan/brown but that really pops. Beautiful bike even though it hits you where it hurts( financially). Rob.
