1946 Schwinn Restoration

[deepsouth]

This is a bike I purchased fro Bob Snyder last fall. I decided to dress her up a little. I've always wanted a Cobalt blue and Ivory B6. Most of the bike was there minus the debossed "outie" seat clamp and the tapered kickstand. Thankfully John Gable (John G04) was parting out a '46 girl's bike that had the parts I needed. Seat was done by Bob U. Chrome plating by Detray Plating Services. I'm happy with the results.
