As seen in the 1941 Schwinn Dealer Catalog. Nice bike! GLWTS!

Not sure if it's even worth mentioning, but I noticed the crank cups are blackout. Maybe very late 41' to early 42'? Very cool bike!

Probably one of the last 1941 New Worlds. Serial is H94474, last 1941 bike on the New World registry. The next is a 1942 i-series serial (at least so far).

It would be a few weeks, but if it's still available, I'm ripe for a trip to CT.
Lived in Norwich back in the 80s, my son was born there. It'd be good to look around again and bring back a bike.
Dont hold it, but I'm serious

Nice deal on a bike with multi gear hub and hand brakes Mike! Wish I was closer too. GLWTS

I was able to pull together a bike box and enough packing materials from what I have in my basement. I'm willing to pack and ship this bike if the buyer wants to pay Bikeflights shipping on top of the $300 list price.

Sorry for my poor English but I'm a bike lover too .

So the price for bicycle is $300 USD plus $300 USD for packing and shipping? Total $600 USD???
