Our Own Hardware E-Z Speed Schwinn Bicycles

I have that same bike in the same color in excellent condition. Any idea what year yours is?

1940 C model xmas special. C models with built in drop stand ears were 1940 as opposed to DX models with drop stand ears were 1939.

Here it is! I just picked it up and I am so excited! I bought it from a buddy that owed me two favors. I got it for a song.

That was just soap and water?

Yes Sir! I Love it. Lots of dents, rust etc. but lots of paint under the black mold and dirt. I used hot water with Dawn Dish Soap. I didn't even have to scrub hard. Barry

Mine is a 1941. I found the date on the crank and the serial number shows 1941 also. Barry

Very cool, I wish I'd have had copies of that for the Schwinn head badge book I wrote. Maybe for the second printing. Would you mind if I use your photo? Thanks, Barry

Sure, you can use it in your book.
