I agree,... I wouldn't even clean it if that is the original paint...

thanks, the paint is not original on it. i agree it is cute and rare. the tires still hold air and just need cleaning. i would not touch it if it was the orig paint. i might not but if i do it will be quite awhile from now. i have the badge. photo its off the bike but i will have a photo of it later. its the world badge.

You may be able to clean off the overpaint with oven cleaner and save the original paint underneath..

How do you know it is a Schwinn?

 

[redline1968]

because the schwinn badge fits it and the prewar book with the measurements fits it. along with the specs. hard to beat the prewar schwinn book. if you want a close up of the holes i will provide it. great question though.

I really didn't think that it was very special. i had the thing hanging around and thought it would be nice to see if there was others out there. I have to say if you saw it in person the paint had been sanded underneath and repainted along time ago along with a small repair on the rear stay. there are splotches of red and white but not enough to save it. it would take alot of work to protect the original paint. i wish it was in better condition. for now, i won't touch it; but, i will prove its a schwinn as soon as i get my camera this evening. i would like to see if there are others out there.
