Skidding on my '41 Schwinn Autocycle
Both bikes came without rear racks and tanks, but had all the other B6 options. (Fender light, fore brake, and springer forks)

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER A FEW ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS TO THE HERETOFORE CRITIQUE!
THE PEDALS ARE NOT ORIGINAL TO THIS BIKE, BUT ARE THE LATER 1948 INTRODUCTION 'AS' PEDALS.
THE '46 BIKE PEDALS WOULD HAVE BEEN TORRINGTON PEDALS.
THE FENDER BRACES FOR THE FRONT FENDER ARE A LATER DESIGN WITH THE FRONT BRACE BEING LONGER
THAN THE BOTTOM BRACE. THE EARLY POST WAR FRONT BRACES WERE THE SAME LENGTH. ABOUT THE TIME
OF THE PHANTOMS THE FRONT BRACES WERE MADE LONGER TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE UNDER THE
FENDER LIGHT PAN. THE CENTER RUBBER FLAG ON THE SCHWINN TYPHOON TIRES WOULD RUB ON THE PAN.
THE WHEEL SPOKES DO NOT LOOK LIKE ORIGINAL DOUBLE BUTTED SPOKES USED IN THOSE YEARS.

Interesting, Perhaps Bob U would like to comment on these observations.I got the Bike from Him and he got it from the original owner.Who knows, Maybe the original owner didnt like the Torrington Pedals and liked the new AS ones.
I couldnt tell yuh.The only thing I added was the rear expander brake and the cleaning.I love it!
