DX questions

[mrg]

Just picked up a OG paint 46? DX ( tapered kickstand ) SER. # C00XXX, Planes & Trains badge, bikes in pieces so better pics later. was curious about this kickstand cap?, seen it a couple of times over the years but never paid that much attention, came with a nice tank ( metal with fresh paint ) he said was a repop, how do yo tell the difference, think somebody also added painted S2's.

There was a kickstand repair kit for the Schwinn stands, I wonder if that's it.

Hi... I have that kickstand thing on a 1980 Heavy Duty frame too...

Repairing what, just seems like it seals the end?

Schwinn kickstand repair kit? What are these for? | All Things Schwinn

Can someone enlighten me? What are these used for? Clearly the washer is shaped like it would "cap" the end of the built in kickstand mount on a Schwinn frame, but how does it work? Found several of these new in the baggies today at my local bike shop who bought out an old Schwinn dealer years ago.

Wow, that explains kickstand issue, now is that tank a repo? and if so how do you tell the difference?

Who painted it? Dan sells them already painted in Blue, Black, Green and Red. I don't mess with many tank bikes so I couldn't tell you what's original or not with a tank.

Ya, looks like a Bicyclebones repop!
