You forgot one.

Reproduction Decals.

Add that to the list and then it will be perfect! Super nice job neighbor.

Hahaha! You’re right! I didn’t pack the bearings with proper 1951 grease either, my bad.

Also, it would be awesome if someone would re-create the original reflective “Schwinn” decals for these old Hornets. Waterslide decals will work until then.

Weren't those a one year only deal? 1953 maybe?

Don’t know, all three of the tank sets I’ve bought had reflective “Schwinn” decals. I just assumed that was how they all were originally?

Love the bike Mark. You have great taste and style!

The wavy rack turned out nice & straight. A little All Metal filler and some sanding & it’ll be ready to paint.

Great job. Spurs me on to get my 52 Hornet finished. I'm stuck trying to figure out how to pinstripe the wheels now that I have them respoked and painted.

I looked at your list of reproduction parts an wondered where you came up with the NOS air for the tubes?

One of these might work with tape if you cut off the tab sticking out to clear the spokes.
