So in this case the other letters/numbers are i3 so third quarter of 39.

Rear hub for reference.

The front wheel/hub in question.

I’m helping a friend rehab and preserve a 1939/40 Schwinn Autocycle for occasional riding. In its current state it does not have a forebrake but does have a locking fork. I saw in the 1939 catalog that forebrakes were added for additional money. Is it possible this one never had the forebrake...

Wrapped this up after its owner dropped off the last parts to install and I also did a mechanical restoration on his lady friend’s Hawthorne. They took them away to go for a fair weather ride after we wrapped up.

Coming along nicely!

Thanks all! I’ve got everything cleaned and polished. Just need to finish up the fork and I’m waiting for some new spokes to show up!

I'm tearing this bicycle down for a friend and doing a mechanical rebuild. I'm not 100% sure what it is. It has S2 wheels with a morrow rear hub and a Schwinn stamped front hub. Someone has put incorrect decals on chainguard, the (dark orange) paint on the headtube look like the wrong scallop...

On our local greenway a few years ago.

Some that I’ve had and sold through the years.

how about a bell from 1882?

Anything built by Schwinn.

1941 Columbia-built Davega

1941 Columbia-built Davega. Did a mechanical overhaul including new spokes.

Automotive windspeed gauge. Aftermarket accessory from the olden days.

I wish I had seen this in 2011!!

No chance at all but I'll get the ball rolling - $200 on Hawthorne

J&B Importers - a supplier for a lot of bicycle shops; part numbers 5195 or 52574. Both layback post at 22.2mm https://www.jbi.bike/site/product_details.php?part_number=5195 https://www.jbi.bike/site/product_details.php?part_number=52574

1958/59 J.C. Higgins. Picked it up a week ago. Newer nos tires, new tubes, rim strips, spokes, new crank cups and bearings, rebuilt hubs and headset, new grips and mid -60s saddle. Everything was left as is including the plan tlife growing on the frame. Since the photo I've put some period...

Thanks for the info. I’ve tried the usual routes for removing the red paint (acetone, lacquer thinner, 91% alcohol, even did a test spot with brake cleaner) but it’s ON THERE. I’ll probably gently scrape what I can a match up some blue and white over what I can’t get off of it.

First the JC Higgins MOT S X Model 502 47500 158079 1959? Second is the Davega F207154 1941? Third is the Dayton Huffman 3H266123 1953?

I’ll get them eventually. Congrats on the win at the Get A Grip show by the way!

Picked these up a few days ago and would appreciate any info on them. The first one is a Dayton Huffman-built Mainliner badged bike. The second is a Reggie Macnamara Davega womens' bike. My guess the Davega is Columbia-built and circa 1938-41. The Mainliner looks like late 40s-mid 50s based...

$5

These were on market place and the big ticket bikes were in the very background or out of frame. I recently picked these up and started working on the JC Higgins. So far I've replaced all the spokes, rebuilt both hubs, headset and bottom bracket, removed the frozen chain and soaked it and...

Clean, service, ride, repeat.

For reference.

Looking for a rough or fair condition front fender for a 1959/60 Murray Fleetline. Its similar to a Spaceliner. Thanks!

$80

Hmmmmmm….. It did fine up to speed once I got the chain on. Getting up to speed was the only issue - it took a minute.

Original Iverson Roadrunner forks. They're odd - no bearings - just upper and lower nylon bushings.

I thought the same thing. I ride a 48" and the smallest one is 52".......so close but not quite.

Also included is this Western Union tribute bicycle. This Western Union tribute started life as a Savoy Mainliner and was commissioned for someone who wanted a quasi-period looking delivery bike. New paint, tires, tubes, chain, spokes, grips, distressed Brooks saddle. Ready to ride.

Bike was missing the spoon brake when he purchased it.

I’m listing these for someone else. These were gathered as the Greenlee Heritage Collection but plans have since changed. If you have questions feel free to private message. Please comment politely. These must be sold as a group only - he will not separate them. He’s asking $67,500 for all 5...

My former (RIP) test rider and mechanic’s assistant, Vivian.

I'm loving that the Schwinn catalog photo clearly shows a disc brake!

Silver aluminum thing is a cable crimp used to keep the end of a freshly cut cable from unraveling. The two black pieces are probably to cap off the bolts for the stem bolt and handlbar clamps. Grey plastic is to go under the reflectors if they're not tight enough on their own.
