I bought this 1939 Schwinn as a parts donor for the forebrake, but brought it back to life instead.

Purchased originally for yard art and a place for my wife to plant flowers, this one just made a comeback. we call it "Lockjaw" since you should probably have a Tetanus shot before riding it.

If she could talk ....after sitting outdoors neglected for decades... now she’s rescued and is back into service!!!! Named her “Cindy” One last Photo coming Stay Tuned it’s going to be a Great One!!!!

No brakes on those old racers ? Cool adjustable bars & stem thingy? I’ve seen those for sale now I get it

Thee the red and white racer above is a Kopsky! It is a thirties “Kopsky racer” made in NJ. It’s been used here up until the late 1990s in races here in buffalo. No brakes and a fixie. I will put rear brake on and ride. Bought a nice period brake from Rusty Jones last week.

Dude…… nice bell you bought can’t wait to see it on one of your rolling masterpieces! Thanks for the observation,

Gave you a little 1937 history of Kopsky! Rick

Wow, this bike is pretty INCREDIBLE not to mention the fact that Doris Kopsky being the first women's champion in 1937 is quite the feat. RideOn Doris..
