WE only live once, or so they say!!!
Is this an O.G. paint or a repaint? Any way I still like your bike. I'm dealing on a twin bar. Hope to have it by the end the wek. Enjoy the ride. Razin.
The previous owner said it was original paint with re-pop grips, tires and tubes. I will enjoy the ride Razin...and will replace the grips once I confirm the correct ones(ball end or oval script).
 
This was a manufacturing process specific to Schwinn frames of a certain era. I’m probably going to botch this, but essentially they are connecting the tubing by creating an arc between one positively charged tube, and one negatively charged one, versus fillet brazing, which was the standard at the time.
Anybody who wants to know more about this, Marc S. Muller's article "Inside the Varsity" (On the Sheldon Brown/Harris Cyclery web site) gives an in-depth explanation. It's a well written article, worth a read.

I have a spitfire with an identical paint job. So is this a early 50's model or is this an older one? Good looking bike. I wish mine had the springer front. I really like the way they ride and handle. What is your asking price? Thanks and Ride On. Razin.

Razin,
It was sold to me as an original and looks correct to me. I have replaced the re-poped grips.
