1949 Schwinn DX recently finished

[OZ1972]

Here is a 49 schwinn DX I recently received from my buddy & fellow CABER " @Kato , I went completely thru all the bearings front to back , also new tires & heavy duty good year tubes from Walmart , I traded my 36 Colson LWB for this bike, KATO has had his eye on it for a while now , this is my first Bendix 2 speed I like it a lot , I know that the sprocket is wrong it's a 44 t Huffman sprocket, I set it up for long hilly country rides , thanks for looking

Killer bike, love my 2 speeds. I do not like the lever in that position because it hits on the grip and you need to hold it in your hand when in low. I moved mine down the bar just below the grip. That is just my opinion. Good luck
