Reduced 1959 Schwinn Hornet

-

schwinnguyinohio

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
This is a bike I built using all original painted parts and the rest I added using Schwinn parts and some are obviously wrong. It has Schwinn S2 painted rims that are painted over but looks like it may come off easy as the original paint is showing in places . Has chrome middleweight fenders on it with no rubbing on tires . Paint original with scratches throughout. Has been one of my favorite riders for a few years . Kickstand is a little weak leans bike more than normal haven’t swapped it out . . 300 picked up in SW Ohio , don’t really want to ship this one .
Might trade locally on a stingray of equal value

I like that a lot...so many ways to go with it.
 
Would the tank fit an earlier Hornet by chance? Thanks. Razin. P.S. how much for the tank?

Schwinn made a cantilever frame change starting with the 1959 models and the cantilever bars that continued into the seat stays were bent different. I don't mess with tank bikes but the rear fenders from 1959 and on don't fit the earlier frames. I haven't heard of any issues with the tanks having a fit issue though.
