Extra time around the house? Check your bikes for build sheets!!!!

[Autocycleplane]

If you own a prewar Schwinn and haven't looked down inside the seat tube for a build sheet you could be depriving yourself and the rest of us of some much needed hobby fun. So grab a flashlight and a 9/16" wrench and start pulling those saddles off and taking a peek. In case you are wondering, here is what you are looking for:

Post up any you find here please - I bet we could all use something cool as a distraction right now.

Happy hunting!

Just checked the 2 I’ve got at home with me today, and came up empty. I’ll have to check the other 3 frames in my storage unit later this week

All these years. I had no idea

How cool is that! I will need to check some of mine this weekend.

Checked both of mine, nothing. The henderson did have a few dead bugs in it though

When did Schwinn start/stop doing this practice?

My dad found these paint chips in the seat tube of his '47 Fat Bar when he restored it. V/r Shawn

Time for a GOOD color matcher to get to work! No fade!

Think those are Schwinn related? Totally could be but also seems odd that they would end up in a bike like that. Cool either way. I've found some weird junk in the seat tube before, like a whole platoon of plastic army men jammed down in there.....
