1935/36 Schwinn CyclePlane

[ColsonTwinbar]

So I was contacted by and old family friend who said he had a Klunker (he's originally from Marin County) for me to fix up. He didn't know much about it, but just sent it up with my brother. Turns out its a CyclePlane. Sorry to be a tease but I will have pictures up tomorrow. I am fixing it up for him on a slight budget but am looking for some parts. It looks like I will need new bars, stem, 1 grip end Reflector, chainguard. It may need a new front fender but I'm gonna see what I can do for this one. I am also looking for a D-cell battery tube for the silver ray. He wants a working light, but it is missing its tank. The color combo is black/ivory. Let me know if you have any of these parts!

The frame looks to be a 1935 double diamond frame. The other parts match that year with the exception of the ones you are looking for. (wrong tires of course)
When you said he wants you to fix it up, does that mean just straighten the fenders and add the parts you mentioned or do a restoration?
The parts you are looking for are usually on Ebay most of the time at reasonable prices.
IMO it wouldn't look right to put a battery tube on that bike, get a correct tank and the other parts and your almost complete.
That is a chain ring I am not familiar with!

The Areocycle and the Cycleplane sported the same rear rack.

Yep, they had the same rack and the same seat. The extent of the restoration will be a full cleaning and replacement of heavily rusted parts. I tried to get him to jump for a tank but he can't spend the money on it right now, as much as I would like to play with one of those in the meantime. I'm gonna try and find the correct sprocket and will be keeping my eye out for a new fender as this one would need a lot of work.

If you know of about a tank for sale...let me know? I'm needing one

I didn't say it didn't belong, I was more commenting on its rarity and value...great score to get the rare bits with the bike...

I think I've seen that on teens Hawthornes.
