41 Deluxe Autocycle

[1817cent]

I picked up this bike in April at Memory Lane. It was born a Deluxe Autocycle but sometime in its life it had been reduced to something less. I completed the bike today to bring it upto its former glory. All the parts are original except the buttons, which are original EA and the rear carrier is temporarily postwar. Also, the carrier clamp was made by BadBob here on the Cabe. It rides great but will ride better once i get my ordered 20 tooth cog & driver. Also, still searching for a better color match for the carrier legs.

What tooth count is on there now ? How does it perform.?

18 is on it now. The Morrow hub does great. I just want a little more ease in peddaling. The way it is now, i would not want to pedal more than 7 to 10 miles. With a 20 or even better, 22 tooth i could easily double that with my 72 year old body.

I am taking my bike from 22 tooth ND to morrow and I too sought the correct 22 morrow cog. But I'm afraid all I could locate was 20 older Bendix (screw on gear). No where close to putting miles on my bike instead more like few blocks. My bike already heavy and big morrow adds to it.

Oops. Old Iron Bob made the very nice carrier clamp. Sorry for the error.

Very nice!
No thought of running a Schwinn Expander Brake on the rear?
I think you’d like the freewheeling action.

Nice looking bike and beautiful color combo .. I like how the fenders came painted the darker copper color instead of the same tan on the frame Does anybody know the correct color names ?
