1949 Schwinn New World...Yes, That One...

[HARPO]

OK, here are the pics as I got the bike home. And to my VERY happy surprise, it still wears it's original New World decal!!

Bad things, of course, as I stated in the Post in the Schwinn section, are that things will need replacing to be original. That will be done in given time. For now, enjoy the "Barrage" of photos!

Photos show it is better at it's new home. Are the rims stainless?

Yes, it shows it in the close-up photo of the rim...Schwinn Stainless S-6...

Those are nice rims. I have been looking for a pair for a while. S6 so new Kendas should work. Have fun with it!

I AM NOT parting out the bike, but look what just sold on ebay...

Glad to hear it went to a good home! Judging by your other efforts, the results will be worth the wait! Interesting to compare the handlebar and stem on yours to mine!

Can’t wait to see it cleaned up!!

I don't know how both bikes can be 1949. Look at your cranks. Yours is the really nice one, mine is the Plain Jane.

I'm guessing that the stainless rims weren't available very long. I'm glad you aren't parting it out, but obviously there's enough in parts that you got a smoking deal!
