As I posted in the Jewel Tank Ranger thread. When I received the bike, I took some pictures on initial inspection and found this in the tank: View attachment 1167787
Beautiful bike! I have my doubts about the guard being original to bike. The Schwinn and Columbia Rangers(factories several states apart) did not come off the same assembly lines-so its not like 'we ran out of Schwinn guards -so use a Columbia guard'! Even the color of the guard looks like the Columbia Ranger 'Ace' type guard. I'd address the stuck stem bolt issue before a leisurely ride turns in a crash with a lot of damage to a beautifully preserved bike! Just my opinion.

I know Schwinn and Westfield never came off the same line, just that Mead sourced bikes & parts from everybody ( at least 3 or 4 companys ) and usually last years leftovers so often their bike were a mix of years & parts, whatever they got a deal on!, hell Westfield might have had a deal on a pallet of last years guards?. I've had a couple of CWC built Rangers that were kinda odd!
