Idea of Value
Hey Dan-Oh, Welcome, I turned it right side up so I could get a better look at it. There are people on this site that are much more knowledgeable in pre war Schwinns than I am. From what I can see, it indeed could be a 1936, you can confirm w/ the serial #s. Bike has some really nice parts on...- mike j

What bike did you ride today?
Winter took a little reprieve here in N.Y. too, yesterday. Topped at 63 degrees. Checked out some of the progress on joining the rails to trails around New Paltz & Poughkeepsie. Eventually there will be over a hundred miles of interconnected walking & bike lanes. Stopped on the walkway over the...- mike j

Survey - Patina or Stripped? Rebuilding wheels
I use a 4" electric grinder w/ a silicone carbide masonry cup wheel. They are available at Home Depot & most hardware stores for a couple of bucks. Get one that is wide enough for the tire bead to fit. I like them because they're not too aggressive. You are kind of half cutting & half burning...- mike j

I have a variety of 2 & 3 spds. w/ coasters on all my riders. There is no going back. Sheldon Brown has some really good info. on them.

Please help me i.d. this bike
That fork looks like a Durante springer. For those not as old as me, Jimmy Durante was a comedian/ singer with a trademark nose. Depending on what you want to do w/ it. I think it's got some coolness to it already. Believe early post war too, good luck w/ it.- mike j

Been working in one of the river towns in Westchester county for the past three weeks. Everyday we past the old Croton aqueduct hiking & biking trail. Construction started in 1837, to supply water to N.Y.C. It runs 20 something miles along the Hudson river north of the city. Finally got to ride...- mike j
