Casual dreamer

Finally riding a big boys bike
At a local antique fair last march I missed this bike, I saw it after a guy I know got it. I asked if he was going to sell it and he said bought it to ride, I was pretty jealous he got it for a pretty cheap price. I told him if he decides to sell it let ne know, I ran into him antiquing last weekend and he asked if I still wanted it, I told him I definitely want it! I picked it up yesterday and I love it! It has an Ace head badge with a kool shop decal which was an Indian motorcycle dealer in San Jose. It had the wrong seat on it so I replaced it with this Mesinger sliding rail I bought a year ago, it looks like it belongs on this bike! I'm going to clean it up a little, I love the patina! Rides like a dream, here are a few pics. 😎

That’s cool! I really dig the red and the Indian Motorcycle shop decal. This is my first post is this only for Schwinn?
I found and purchased this Whizzer today. It’s on a Monarch Silver King Rocket frame. The Whizzer kit is an H series from 1946 or so. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rico

Three different rides in one post haha. To the OP, that bike is killer! Simple and direct to the point. Glad you were able to get it
