24" Schwinn

[Shawn Michael]

I picked up this nice 24" Schwinn at an estate sale today. I believe it's a 1952, mostly original with nice S2 wheels and Carslile lighting dart tires. It cleaned up nicely.

Pretty dang nice survivor for a kids bike. And it has the big boys chain guard.

Very nice, Shawn. Nice job on the cleanup also! It looks a lot like the '49 I brought to the September swap meet, also a 24 incher.

Yes it does Tim. I was hoping it was a 26" bike when I went to look at it, but I still had to buy it. Now I'm on the lookout for a tank that won't break the bank.

Happened to me when I bought my ‘51 Columbia. I almost walked, but it’s hard to turn down a complete balooner when it’s in front of you. This is inspiring me to get mine cleaned up .

I guarantee you will pay more for the tank than you did for the bike......

Nice bike! Heres my 24 inch that got me into the hobby and was a curb find! I’ll keep a look out for a tank i seem to be a magnet for them.

Thanks! That's a sharp looking bike too. I should be looking for bikes for my tanks too.
