I just aquired my first really old bike - Hibbard badged Schwinn?

-
I was wondering if the front fork truss rods are brazed to the fork ends or separate? If the truss rods are brazed on the fork ends I believe that is a earlier trait.
 
They are definitely brazed onto the forks on the bottom. I didn't notice that until you asked! I wonder where in the world I am going to find a rear fender!
 
schwinn

I live in so ca, beach is 30 min away. take it there 2-3 times a week, 16mile ride round trip for lunch and back to pick up, plus one ride to down town for lunch, having a good time with it..
 
I too have a Hibbard project with an original tank...maybe one day I'll get around to finishing it.

History

Does anyone have information on Schwinn making bikes for Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co.? How early they started making bikes for them and/or which models were made?

Thanks Ross
