Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I picked up this 1955 Traveler needing work. There was no headlight or head badge and the guts of the Sturmey-Archer Dynohub were gone. The front wheel bearings were loose but in good shape so I got them re-adjusted and got a head badge off EBay. The new head badge screwed on with no problems, but you can see it's off center pretty bad, and I've seen pictures of a few other Schwinn light weights from the mid-fifties with the same problem. This could have been a production glitch, but just out of curiosity, exactly when did Schwinn stop using other head badges and has anyone seen an early Traveler with any other head badge?
