I don't know if this has been posted in this thread, but this is from Phil Marshall the Cleveland Welding guy , (my serial number is D73867) I think I've posted this earlier but Phil is very knowledgeable on CWC dating..... The key to dating your bike is the Cw symbol stamped after the end of...

judging by the chain ring and chain guard, etc; looks like a '55 https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/hawthorne-bicycle-year.162935/#post-1100769

Your bike has the over the fork front fender, and it may have had a different chain guard and skirt guards on the rear (high rear fender indentation would allow for this on yours) your chain guard may be from a boys.

I've seen it before too, they must be using it as a backdrop for some of the episodes

might be 'pre-war' (if there's a WWIII)...frames another 5K

rack, tank,light and chainguard seem to be different from the catalog photo

he's right 'you won't find it in any bicycle shop'....

he does state 'it still rides today';)

I've reused the spokes each time, no problems...

Most of the ones I have on my balloon tire bikes came from lightweight, as long as the spoke count is the same they should work.

I wonder if they have the wheel/tire size correct..looks larger

If you're not set on glass, go to Home Depot buy a small piece of plexiglass and cut your own....I've made some and if you take care when cleaning they're fine

There is FREE shipping...…:)

I had a squeak on a springer that was about to drive me nuts, turned out to be on the ends of the spring (where each end contacts the mount) was causing the problem.

looks like you may become 'bowlegged' on it..:)

anything that isn't affected by cold....I snapped a drive during a cold spell (park bike lubricant)

unfortunately surgery doesn't always create a permanent 'fix' - there are some muscles that can be 'strained' by riding causing 'other' problems:(

I usually just remove the 2 screws on the tank, simple, and saves the tank (park tool stand)

I started collecting bikes because I enjoyed repairing, and then riding them......haven't bought a vintage bike in a couple of years, prices are out of hand

I no longer meet at my house (police station only), but had to go a step further and use a 'burner' phone....they can locate you by your listed phone

looks like the 'oops spots' are only on non-pinstriped areas should be able to touch that up....

looks like this, listed a 50's Murray on tricyclefetish site

that's for the lock (missing)

I have a person that's interested in this, haven't sold any of my bikes....any ideas on a fair price? '53 Huffy, re-furbished, springer front, nice headlight....

here are the instructions....

possibly a decimal problem?:eek:

Paris TX........

the Ebay change that stopped me from selling was when they added the shipping amount into the final amount total, I pay shipping and Ebay gets a fee???

not yet in Texas...

old fork+vise= truing stand:)

possibly the key is as Joel stated, used versus new..

I believe that's a '39 (straight downtube) https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/fs-original-prewar-bicycle.127692/#post-857047

Another one who didn't get there, but ordered parts, sorry to see them go.... Halfatruck

Nope:p

let me be the first to say I wasn't sure what to make of the thread title:p

I've had a couple extended and made sure there was a 1/2 water pipe inside for re-enforcement (made sure it ended up below the lowest stem point) cut and beveled both pieces of tube and welded. In both of the tubes I changed the water pipe fit snugly inside (1/2" galvanized)

1938-1941 Sears Collegiate (Elgin) Sears “Collegiate”, not to be confused with the Schwinn bicycle by the same name. This was a lower-priced model sold by Sears, which did not carry the usual “Elgin” badge held by the rest of the Sears bicycle line. These bikes were never fully equipped, but...

Collegiate was the lower priced model of Elgin

Wards Airliner...

I'm thinking this is a EA horn, anybody have an idea of the era/year

I had one a while back and the 'rivets' were removable (had to grab the heads with a small visegrip and screw out) I don't know if they were all made this way.

that's why you need to do something slow them down, I've seen 'boots' on tires, as well as both wheels with large 'logging' chains connecting them together..make it hard for them (they'll go for the easiest mark)

You better hurry:p https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/bik/d/vintage-schwinn-bikes/6517370217.html

I like the listed prices...:)
