Oh My GOD!!! That bike is incredible!!! Is that right there like Schwinn purist porn? Cause that seems pretty unbelievable...

Alrighty... just to summarize what I've learned so far. 1. repros & resto-mods are frowned upon. General consensus is that this seems to be a bike worth spending the time and $$$ on. 2. I'm holding either a 1946-1947 Schwinn BA-97 autocycle with an aftermarket seat and rear rack 3. I DO NOT...

I truly appreciate all the feedback, and see the love felt for these bikes. I am def interested in restoring this bike the right way. I feel like my first step it to give it a nice bath and gentle waxing. After that I'm going to start looking for a wheel set. I'm gonna go for the proper pieces...

Wow, this is awesome and I think I may have just found my new pet project. FYI, if the next post from me is from a pissy woman, it'll just be my wife blaming all of u for my lack of attention to her! So when you say don't paint it, r u saying no touch ups? Or don't repaint the whole thing...

Ok, sorry to keep posting but this is pretty exciting to me! I spoke to a friend of a friend who is into older bikes, and he's telling me from the pics I sent him that I have a mid-late 40's b-6 that's missing some pieces...does that jive? I googled "1947 schwinn b6" and what came up looks...

Sorry, I realized after I posted about the headlight that my question had already been answered. Any particular advice in cleaning the paint and chrome up? Also, is the seat a big deal? It's in decent shape but I'd rather something new while keeping it classic looking...

awesome First off, thanks so much for the quick response! Since I'm very new to this... when u say its worth a lot what are we talking about here? Ideally I'd love to convert it for personal use, only thing is I'd be considered "slightly" mechanically inclined at best. The chain is pretty...

I found this in my in-laws shed in Pa. They said it was there when they bought the house 40+ years ago. I'd love to find some more info on it, and maybe convert it into a sorta resto-mod for personal use... Thanks.
