Taking apart my 61 Wasp heavy duty today and noticed a strange “X” marking on the fork tube. The “X” is in the white/ivory color used on the bike with the tube the black body color. Is this what Schwinn did for bikes that were more than one color? It’s a very deliberate marking, the white only applied on the non black portion at the top of the tube.
I’m looking to take the fork into Sherwin Williams auto paint to get a color match for the black and white paint on the Wasp, so this white “X” (actually looks ivory) will help with that.
