40 Ladies DX

Threw this one up on the stand and it is crazy how nice it is cleaning up! Just covered in years of barn dirt and dust. Wash wax and a light scrub and it is back. Gotta love Schwinn paint and chrome. The wheels were toast from rotting in the ground so I found a color match set and they look great. I will get around to lacing in the front drum brake at some point. Almost done will post some more pics when complete.

It is F21187. That would make it a 40 actually correct? Thought it was a 39’ but did some more digging in the serial numbers post.
