Post your Schwinn double bar roadsters

[rollfaster]

I have photos of a Schwinn with that fork. The bike looks original. Paint is the same on the fork, frame and fenders. I always thought maybe some guy in a shop was putting together bikes just before WWII and used what he had on the shelf? Another brand bike with the same color paint? If I can find the photos I have I'll post them. Barry

Here they are!

Aren't these frames in this post considered curved double bars?

I ask because it looks like Schwinn is calling a 1938 Roadster frame a double bar and the frames in this post are curved double bars?

"Doublebar" vs "Double Bar" for model names.

Ok, educate me. What is a double bar, if not two bars? The only difference I am seeing is truss rods.

The "Double (Curved) Bar Roadster" has 2 "parallel" top tubes with a straight down tube. Your DX's 2 top tubes converge more at the rear, and don't have quite the same arc as each other. These bikes were made 36-38.
