I have noticed many differences in geometry between prewar and postwar Schwinns...I think it would be interesting to document the differences...

probably, there were at least 4 different versions of the tank

very cool find. These are valuable and sought after but very fragile and worth zero if damaged so be careful

Longer handlebar stem used to clear items sticking out and above the basket

I've seen #3 on late prewar westfield/columbia...

there is a complete set in the parts for sale page

it would be a great resource to document the various geometry on the bikes. But it needs to be done accurately.

probably 1941...

INFO FROM DAVE HASTON The was Palmer's Bike Shop, i verified it with my dad who was the long time owner of Roy's Bike Shop. The store was located on the east side of 2nd Ave, North of 9th street. Johnny Palmer was in business from 1908 to 1970 when he passed away. My dad bought the store...

This may have been posted before...bike shop in Upland California. According to the story, original building was sold to Knotts Berry Farm...

If you overtighten the nut, the nut will seize onto the bolt so adding a thick flat washer might help. Also, the rubber bumper doughnut will crush over time. I made a urethane doughnut for mine from an old shock bushing

not sure, do I remember you? another So Cal rider?

Short lived rejoicing...lol

Just saw a post, IRS buried trying to enforce $600 1099 cap so raising limit to $5000...sellers rejoice!

I am thankful it found you, thankful you got it back and thankful you have continued to enjoy it...we are all caretakers and you are the best caretaker I could imagine for that bike...even though I no longer own it, it can still make me happy...keep pedaling Mark!

$200

if a price is listed, inflated or not, and a buyer agrees to pay that price...that deal is made and done. To come back and demand a refund is ridiculous, this ain't walmart...seller is not responsible for buyer not purchasing direct and saving...this whole argument is pointless

Just another non issue, Just like paying more for gas when using a credit card, or more for food when using a delivery service. I could go on and on. People just need to complain...

I read the Wanted section daily and have bought and sold a few items through it...

I found that issue too...the width of the links are slightly different between manufacturers...

For me, it would depend on condition. I have owned both and liked both pretty much evenly. A bike in great condition would win out...

that is so cool Walt!

here is a pic of one I had...should have a persons long spring seat and 28 or 30in wide bars. Chainguards are added....<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="" title="IMG_0143"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/2034/2509751917_289c422cd3_z.jpg" width="640" height="412"...

Happy birthday Mark!

you are forgetting about the holes for the drop stand clip...fenders are probably the same with additional holes for drop stand and light

are you in the proflex facebook groups?

still looking....

Hey Laura, looks like you found the cabe!

will be a cool 24in DX when done

Thanks, I think I can source those locally so am still looking for NOS Diamond, Union etc...

Looking for 1/2" pitch 3/16 wide master links...need diamond and others

post deleted by me...old news...

in the 90s there was a lower level schwinn model that looked similar to a Phantom but used the fender you described. It was not the reproduction Phantom. The Schwinn reproduction Phantom fenders and the fenders sold by Bones are both correct for a Phantom with fender light

In response to the og question...for me there are a few points... I am not against restored bikes. I can fully appreciate the time spent and beauty of execution of a proper restoration but since I like to ride my bikes, I find that I just don't enjoy riding a restored bike as much as an original...

I might be there...starting from the Claremont side

I saw the ads on FB and also thought it was a scam since his prices were reasonable...now glad to hear that it isn't a scam and others are willing to vouch for him.
