Help with a 1949’ Schwinn Deluxe(?)

[Catman]

The serial number is F141274. Appears saddle pedals and grips at least are non original. But is it an actual model or a Frankenschwinn?!

I'm going with a model B Frankenschwinn. Maybe the fork, front wheel, head badge, seat post clamp, seat post? and chain guard are original. I do like the smaller fenders better if they had Schwinn braces. Time for your custom build?

It has a good base to start with. If you like it it's all that matters. I think a delux model would have a tank and speed chain.

Thanks! I do the the general look. The rear S-2 rim is early with the knurl removed before chroming.
I would be interested in trading it for TOC stuff in any interest is out there. Value is tricky. Any notions.
