So I am assembling a 1957 Schwinn Deluxe Hornet. It has the later style springer and is an S-7 bike. In mounting the front tire I find that I have about an inch of clearence between the top of the fender and the top of the tire. On the back/lower part of the fender the clearance is much less...
I was at the LBS today and found a used set of rims that I have never encountered before. They are side stamped Schwinn Tubular S-2, but they only have a single row of knurling. The rear hub looks pretty new, like from the 90s. Looking at the rims they appeared to not be as wide or as flat as...
My current project: Schwinn Deluxe Hornet built between July 27-31, 1957 according to the Schwinn serial number website. I'm currently closing the deal on a pair of nice S-7 rims to complete it. The originals are beyond trashed and I'm not even going to waste any time on them. The paint is...

I posted pictures of this bike before, but now I have pictures of the markings on the bottom bracket. I got this bike back in May. I was hoping to do a little work to it, but the only thing I've managed to do is add a pair of grips lol.
Anyway, can anyone identify what year this bike is? Also...

I need an original crank for a mens 26 inch 1949-50 CWC Roadmaster Luxury Liner. It needs to be straight, no tweaks or damage. Chrome needs to be good, but does not need to be perfect.
Thanks!

I got this bike yesterday at a military vehicle show and swap meet. I gave $150, not sure what it is worth at this point, but I know it's got to be worth more than what I paid. It really looks to be a survivor, albeit a little rough. Original paint and chrome, the Persons seat is still solid...
So, I've been under the impression that black mesinger saddles stamped "Schwinn Approved" are late 1950s. I've read that on the various forums and have been told that by several people. Now I am beginning to think that is not accurate. In the past two weeks I've seen two original late 1960s...
I just finished the resto on a 1948/49 Cleveland Welding Company Luxury Liner. I left it as original as possible. All of the chrome and red painted surfaces are original. The frame has been repainted, the original paint was very bad. Overall the original paint was cleaned, polished and clear...
This is a saddle I restored over the winter. The hardware has all been sandblasted, primed, and repainted low gloss black. It is fully padded and the cover is genuine leather. I did put this on a bike briefly and took it for a ride. It is very comfortable! You will not be disappointed!
$75.00...
This is an excellent saddle. The cover is in very nice condition with a few light scuffs around the edges. The "Schwinn Approved" stamp is nice and clear. The underside of the saddle has been repainted. Overall this is a great saddle for your Schwinn. $60.00 shipped

I am in the process of assembling my 1948 Roadmaster Luxury Liner and I'm finding that there is some troubling wobble in the chain ring. About 1/4 left to right movement.
I did remove the bearing cups when working on the frame, but they did not appear to be bent. Currently booth appear to be...
What is the proper way to setup a CWC Shockmaster springer fork? How far should the truss rods be screwed into the springs? How much tension should the springs have before the headset is fully assembled?
I'm looking to put together a replica G519. What is the best paint to use for the proper shade of OD? Any chance on finding a good spray paint at Home Depot or somewhere similar?
I'm in the process of finishing my Luxury Liner resto and the only piece I'm still missing the lens for the front headlight. Does anyone make a reproduction of that? Or is there something close I could get that will work?
Actually not that new, I got it back in October, but I've only just started doing anything to it. The bike came from the estate of the original owner. The bike also came with some catalogs and bicycle literature dating from the early 1990s. The daughter of the deceased owner indicated he got...
This October I acquired a Cleveland Welding Company Luxury Liner. I'm in the process of cleaning it up and I'm wondering if anyone can help me put a date on it. I'm thinking 1948 or 49. Below is a picture of the serial number.

So I've had a set of beat up old pedals in my parts box for over a year now and I finally got around to taking a closer look at them yesterday. In the process of cleaning them and removing old layers of paint I was surprised to see the end caps marked Persons Majestic. Pretty cool :D. These...
I have a locking springer fork setup that needs to be assembled. I have a tendency to over think things so, this may be a non-issue, but is there a certain way that this type of fork should be assembled? Should it be assembled on or off the bike? Should I attach the spring hardware and truss...
I just finished this saddle today. It started out as a very rusty, crusty piece that was in need of help. I sandblasted the metal parts and repainted everything with a couple of coats of satin black. I found a couple of tanned deer skins in my Mom's basement so I decided to experiment and see...
I just did some work to this saddle over the past few days. The metal parts were heavily rusted so this got a trip to the sandblaster. The cover is in nice shape and cleaned up nice with a little polish. What model bike is this saddle most correct for? Didn't a 1959 Phantom come with a saddle...
A pal of mine inherited a bunch of bike parts recently and we've been able to figure out what nearly everything is, but there are a few pieces I need help with.
First off is this mudflap. What is the raised part around the mounting holes for? I've never seen that before. Any idea when it is...
Today I sent the old man out to meet the owner of this bike and see if he could work a deal. I would have gone, but alas I have work and the lady could only meet in the morning. The asking price was $400 which isn't terrible. After some negotiation he got it for $280. I would have been happier...
A CWC Roadmaster Luxury Liner has turned up locally. Skip tooth, springer fork, crested headlight, battery operated taillight. It's been in a basement for years and shows it. Minor rust and crud accumulation, some scratches and paint loss on the tank and chain guard. Tires are toast and the seat...
Scored the reflector below off of ebay a while back. Not a bad investment for $14. The reflector is marked Schwinn and it is glass, unfortunately it is also broken. Does anyone know of a source of replacement glass? The chrome is perfect on this thing, its a real shame...
Well after months of searching I've managed to acquire a pair of nice straight fenders for my 1956 streamliner resto. :D
I never thought in a millions years it would take so long to find a pair of straight balloon tire fenders. Seems like every pair I came across was heavily dented, pitted...
Well I was riding my 1948 Roadmaster yesterday to take advantage of one of the last few days of decent weather and I started to hear some squeaking. I've put about 20 miles on the bike and all was fine up until yesterday but, as I rode the squeaking would come and go. It started off very faint...
I'm looking for a set of S2 width balloon tire fenders for my 1956 Schwinn Streamliner.
The front needs to have the double indents for a springer fork. I would be okay with a B6 front fender.
I'd like to get a set of fenders in straight condition without chewed up bottom edges. I'd...
Back in the summer I picked up a stripped frame along with some other schwinn parts. The frame has the bridge on the back of the frame for mechanical brakes. The serial number worked out to 1960. Would this have been a Corvette, a Jaguar, or something else? The original paint has been long ago...
- J.C. Higgins ColorFlow/JetFlow Complete Skirt Guard and Rack Setup. This set includes the fender, skirt guards and integral chainguard, braces, and carrier. Does not have the rear reflector. Originally these pieces were dark blue but, there are a couple layers of repaint. Some of the louvers...
Looking for a pair of the chrome JC Higgins script trim pieces that were used on the rear carriers in 1950.
Need to be in good condition, preferably good original chrome but, at the very least they need to be decent enough so that they will look good rechromed.
Thanks for any leads...
The kickstand on the 1956 Streamliner I'm restoring is showing lots of wear and rust and I'd like to get a replacement with fresh cad plating or chrome. Are all Schwinn kickstands created equal or do I need to look for something specific? I saw about a thousand of these yesterday at memory lane...
Well, I tore into the Bendix manual 2-speed hub today. Everything seemed to be in great condition except the two pieces shown below. I can't say I know the proper names for them but, what I can say is that one of them looks to have a good bit of wear. Can I get away with reusing them or am I...
The other day I was randomly looking at my 1948 Roadmaster and I noticed that the rear tire seemed to be shifter awfully far to left. Not seeing an obvious answer I pulled the back tire off and found that one of the adjusters in the dropout had the tip broken off. Not really sure when or where...
I know that the 1995 Phantoms were made fairly close to the originals in most aspects. What about the taillights? How close are the 1995 repops to an original from the 1950s? Can anyone offer some insight and some pictures?

Well, I bought a schwinn locking fork off of ebay recently. It was a bit of a gamble due to rather poor photos and minimal description.
Currently I'm away from home at college and I had the fork sent to my Dad at home. He sent me the picture below. Its hard to make out but, he says it looks...
