In Texas, I would highly recommend Atlas Plating. They do all sorts of plating to include bright and semi-bright nickel. Prices are very reasonable. http://www.atlaschrome.com/services.html

The Pinion Gearbox seems to be less efficient as compared to derailleur gears and Rohloff Hubs. The Pinion has additional frictional losses when compared to other drivetrains. Test have estimated it to lose 3-4 minutes per 100km when compared to a Rohloff hub or derailleur gear system. Yje...

Please disregard my previous post; I checked my Ebay account and was provided sufficient time to buy the item as a second chance but did not check/respond in time. My loss. But if the deal does not go thru, I definitely would like to purchase. Thanks.

Interesting...I was the high bidder on Ebay yesterday for this item until the last second when I was outbidded at $202.00. Oh well. If the deal does not go thru, I would be interested in purchasing this item. Thanks.

1939 Schwinn DX has the straight down tube and the stand mounts on the dropouts. The 1940-1941 DXs have the curved down tube and no stand mounts on the dropouts. The serial number is located under the bottom bracket and starts with a letter followed by numbers. The DXs I own have 5 digits...

Hi Hammerhead: Sorry for not posting sooner. Please see photos below. If you need more, just let me know.

BicycleDesigner.com does have a kit which includes the aluminum bracket and the disk brake/rotor. Below is the whole bike. I took it to a modern Klunker extreme with front/rear discs, carbon fiber fork, Renthal stem/handlebars/kevlar grips, Schmidt headlight/dynamo hub, custom stem lock...

I have installed the aluminum one on a 1939 Schwinn DX frame. I had to widen the distance between the chain stays to accommodate the adapter as well as an 8-speed internal gear hub. In addition, I had to make a shim made from aircraft aluminum to line up the disc. Once all bolted together...

That is not the frame of a 1939 Schwinn DX. This is the frame:

Like everyone else stated, a 1939 DX. Very nice bike! But I think the original headlight was a front loaded torpedo light such as the Delta, not a top loaded unit. Also, I do not think those type of pedals came originally on that bike. It would be interesting to see if the crank is dated...

Are you sure it's a Shelby frame? It looks like a 1940 Schwinn DX frame, especially with the serial number, the shape of the frame, and the small bar on the down tube which is the bump stop for the springer fork.

Sent PM.

PM sent.

Is the front fender still available?

Have you tried attaching an old seat to it and trying to twist it out? This has worked for me.

I sent a PM.

I sent PM about tank.

I sent a PM/e-mail for the fork.

Thanks. After I got it back from chrome plating, I kind of went in a different direction than intended. You're right, I am worried about damage; but it is a really comfortable and fun bike to ride.

Thank you. It took a couple of months to braze and file, braze and file, etc. until it was smooth enough to triple chrome plate.

I just completed building this Schwinn. I started with a frame only which was really rough and needed a lot of brazing. It has front and rear disk brakes, an 8-speed internal gear Shimano hub, Schmidt Dynamo front hub and headlight and Bombshell 24-inch rims. hub and headlight and Bombshell...

I have a 1938 Schwinn Model C frame and I'm looking to buy fenders for it. It has a springer fork. Thanks.

Is the red locking springer fork still available? Thanks.
