I live for the CABE
Bought this earlier in the spring on Ebay and it was a wreck. It was covered in barn paint and mud, and needing some weld repairs on the steering head and the chain guard. Big props to Nickinator and Darcie for their help on this, as my tolerance for projects doesn't go much past the mechanical work. Nick went to town on the thick barn paint with goof off and saved as much of the original finish as possible. Darcie and Nick know a first rate welder who repaired the chain guard and re-brazed the steering head, which had cracked weld repairs. The frame was bent, Fridley Schwinn can straighten anything, and they did great job. The rack needed serious repair, one leg being swiss cheese. Don't have the rack back yet but the repairs are done and it will be on the bike soon! The leaf spring seat needs repair and patina recover when funds allow. The two speed planetary gears are brazed over, most likely they are stripped out. Here's where its at so far...
