All original 1939 Schwinn dx cleanup

[John G04]

Wheels are a work in slow progress but here it is so far. Took the fork completely apart and cleaned every piece, scored a NOS rubber bumper for the fork off ebay for cheap, and thank you very much to @sm2501 for the whizzer spring and NOS Klinedinst badge along with @barnyguey for info on the unusual screw spacing. Also did some fine waxing on the rear stays and seat post clamp. Very happy with how its cleaning up!

Killer job on the clean up...my opinion...look for another badge or patina this one...it is too bright and steals the focus away from the rest of the bike.

Thanks! Yes probably will patina this badge, love the shiny look of it but I agree it does steal the glory from the rest of the bike slightly. Any ideas of how to patina a badge?

Nice project. OG paint, looking very solid indeed. Really dig the rustic bentwood rocker next to the midcentury mod looking chair! Big fan of mixing like that, tho the real old stuff is still my fav! Great style ,,, keep going,,,

Getting there! This weekend hopefully it’ll be up and riding, just gotta fix the horn, maybe get the light working and set up the 2 speed!
