39' Schwinn DX bring back

[bobcycles]

A friend of mine gave me a tub of parts most of what was needed to build his 1939 DX as a 'rider'....
Rechromed restored wheel set, crank, sprocket and struts...NOS Torrington bars....the rest is "patina"
Looks funky as heck! But is pretty much textbook correct as far as parts build.
And? Rides like a brand new bicycle...unbelievable.
Dude is stoked!

Did the blue fenders come with red frame, does look kind of weird.

Looks fine and you get the job of protecting it, like birthing a baby. This day is your fathers day.
