Looking for another prewar Schwinn B or C model, (frame only) with the straight down tube. Same as my 'Critter' build; which is a 36 B-model.

Old thread here..... In my attempts to research my chain guard, I came across this thread. I've always suspected it was an accessory chain guard since it had multiple mounting holes for the down tube clamp. This guard is very art deco in styling, which I love. It must be early 40s or very late...

Thank you. Justin

Picked this up cheap on CL. I'd like to know what the year and what model Murray this is. Didn't come with a badge or chain guard. Any help? Serial is MOU 315167. Justin

Ok, thank you. Justin

Just grabbed this from a local CL ad. Not a whole lot to go off of here besides the frame itself. No badge or chain guard. I'd like to know the year and which model it is. Any help? MOU 315167 Justin

Very nice, thank you. Was one more common that than other? Justin

Can someone please describe to me the difference between B and C model, and what makes this frame a B model (or not). Thanks. Justin

Oh ok, that makes more sense. Early 36 serial number, bike purchased in August of 36 and the person had the initials of JE. I still thinks it's a crazy coincidence that it's my birthday! Justin

Thanks Kieth. Is it in fact a B model? Justin

P 2 1 9 8 0 8 28 36 J E Is 8/28 the actual "born on" date? (Which happens to my birthday!) I've never seen date stampings like that on prewar frames. Is there any explanation for this? I was told its a B model, but I really do not know the difference between B & C. Can y'all enlighten me please?

That Ace badge is really cool. I like it.

What's the screw hole spacing? 2-3/16"?

Excelsior?

My mistake... (half asleep posting..) The screw holes are 2 3/16". I edited my first post too.

I just picked up a 36 model B motorbike frame. Its a bare frame... I'd like to see the possible head badges it might have came with. Screw hole spacing is 2 3/16". Is there a link someone can point me to with a comprehensive, or maybe post some pics here?

Chain adjuster bolt - thread pitch... anyone??

Since this is a thread about chain adjusters... What is the chain adjuster thread pitch on pre war Schwinn's? (such as the one above) Is it a common modern pitch, or is it something that's not used anymore? I need to chase the threads in mine...

Makes sense to me Kieth. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can someone enlighten me on why some prewar frames have a seat post clamp while others have the "pinch" style at the seat stay tubes?

Thanks. Is 16" average or small or??

Just picked up this straight bar Henderson from a guy in Marin... He thinks its a 41' but I'd like a second opinion. It has the "pinch" bolt area for the seat post instead of the seat clamp. Does that make it earlier than the seat clamp models? Serial #H55849... Any more info on Henderson models...

Cool.. I'm glad the clip is in place too. Either way, I think I could make them work. Just let me know pice shipped to 95608, Carmichael CA & Paypal. Thank you!

That second set in from the right (black?).... what kind of deal can we do on that set? PM me if you'd like.

What's the difference between the two?? Ha! I have a peaked rear fender now but it's off a difderent frame and just doesn't fit right with the wheel in place. Leaves zero room for the drop stand clip. I'm ok with "junky" as long as it's repairable. It'll get body worked and painted anyway.

Lil' help here..... I can't find "Bike Hoarder" in the members list.

Thanks for the hint Rollfaster, I'll contact him.

26" any condition, (repairable condition anyway). Thanks

Digging up an old thread here because Rollfaster posted the same question I have, with a very similar serial number, SE2959. I'd jus like to see if there's a clarification as to the SE being 40 or 41...?

If you'll take $40 shipped to 95608, PM me your address. Thanks

Any interest in selling just the crank itself and the rack?

Monark cheese grate rack. The rack has been painted with automotive base coat/clear coat. The rack is black and the cheese grater is candy root beer brown. The rivets have been replaced with stainless steel button head allens. $55.00 plus shipping.

Prewar Bendix 36-13 skip tooth hub. I've taken this hub apart and thoroughly cleaned and inspected it, and its in great shape. I put it back together WITHOUT grease, so the buyer will have to grease it up. $20.00 plus shipping

I picked this up for a build that I did, but it never made it to the bike. The bike is long gone so now so this is up for grabs. $20 + shipping. Fits this frame.

I'm looking for a pre war Hawthorne tank (26") to fit this frame:

If anyone has a bunch of airline miles piled up... I'd trade this for a round trip ticket. PM me if that appeals to you.

I've decided to sell my Build Off 7 creation - LACKLUSTER. Some folks have commented on how they'd like to own in or have it in their collection. Now is their chance. The bike has about one hour of ride time on it. It would be nice to not have to ship it.. I can deliver to the Sacramento or Bay...

I'm in need of another one of these. :D

I'd like to find a complete 26" rat trap springer. Paint/rust condition doesn't matter as long a it's complete with rockers & hardware. Thanks. PayPal ready!

Monark Deluxe reflector. It's polished & striped. Great condition, ready to bolt on. $45 + shipping. I also have the fender, it's blue, and in nice shape. I'll sell the fender for $25 + shipping. If you want both together.. I'd do $65 + shipping. Not the best picture of the fender, but you...

I already had a set of ND hubs that had the standard type cog... and as I built the bike I wanted to personalize it for my wife. She has stars tattooed on her foot so the star sprocket fit the bill there. She's a soccer player and the vintage bell had a soccer player on it. No worries though...

Did anyone happen to email this guy and have his number?? The CL ad is inactive and I'd like to get ahold of him to see if its still available. Thanks!

Thats kinda funny! So you you had a horn in there, but know way to honk it?? HA! Ya I'd like to see a pic of that.

Sent you a PM Slick

I just picked up this tank for the Savage I did for my wife a couple years ago. I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever see one on this style girls frame so I'm pretty excited to have this one now! It has what I would call a "horn button delete plate". Was this a factory thing companies did on...

Thanks for coming through Walker! Can't wait til it arrives!!
