Cycle Truck Stem?

[oskisan]

I am not that familiar with the cycle truck, but I recently came across an older vintage bike with this super long stem and can only relate it (to the best of my limited ability) to the cycle truck. Is this correct (there are no "S" or "AS" bolts on it to clearly distinguish it as schwinn), or is this off some other bike perhaps?

Thanks,
Ken-

I think you are correct with the Cycle Truck stem.

There was also a stem the Koolkids used to modify their bikes with butterfly bars check out the all things schwinn thread for some details and pictures even an ad for a set.

I'd say no to that being a Cycle Truck stem. I'm no certified expert, but I've owned a two post war's and have a pre war Cycle Truck. Non of my stems looked like that. They all looked the same as Schwinn stems relative to their given year but just much longer.

As an owner of 3 Cycle Trucks I'd say you are right on the cusp of being an expert maybe not certified but close! I think the link I posted earlier ID's it as an aftermarket stem but I'm not sure who the manufacturer was?

Not a Schwinn cycle truck stem, but if you don't have the right one, it will work. The Roadmaster cycle trucks had there own different stem too.
