Sold 1939 Schwinn Motorbike Jewelled Gothic $4,400

[Obi-Wan Schwinnobi]

While at the Antique Motorcycle show on Saturday, I had the opportunity both to meet Nelson, and also to look at this bike pretty closely and found it to be VERY impressive. I followed the build here, and had no idea I was going to see the bike in person, but I only wish I was not beyond my budget for this year so far, and could afford to take it off Nelson's hands. The work done is hard to believe! It could live here forever if I was a bit less "over-spent"....

The other bike Nelson brought was also impressive - love those long tanks! (Hiawatha Arrow)

Whoever gets the Lincoln is going to be a very lucky person.

It was a labor of love for sure. It surprised me how fast I found all the parts honestly. Many thanks to all the parties involved with it. I would have bought it back but too many memories associated with that build good and bad. Glad it found a home. All that built around a set of fenders lol... that will be the last time I build a bike... but I think I’ve said that before... [emoji848][emoji6]

You were very fortunate to find those parts fast. I've been looking for a Schwinn Hockey Stick for moths and nobody seems to have one, just my luck!

No kidding! Those moth-specific guards are like hen's teeth!
