Sold 1938? schwinn moto garden bike

[soulshine73]

selling my beloved prewar schwinn garden bike. unfortunately it was restored (lol) before i got to it. the guy i got it from said he restored it in memory of his recently passed friend who had owned it. i didnt have the heart to tell him he basically ruined the bike.

anyways it rides well as is but deserves to be put back together and restored proper. i dont have the means to do so at the moment so i want to pass it along. its a great starting point for someone who has a tank, rack and fender light.

shipping is included at $800. but price is negotiable. open to trades for pre war mercury/elgin parts or pacemaker projects.

I wonder what the previous owners definition of "restoration" is?

 

[soulshine73]

i guess the repaint and getting it rolling again with new tubes and tires.

Any signs of original paint under the blue or the condition of the chrome?

The blue badge screws set it off imho. Nice bike all the same.

Fell in a vat of blueberry goo at the Jelly Belly factory? That house paint might be hiding something nice under there...
