Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Is that aluminum on aluminum? That looks like it would gall and lock up the first time you tried to use it! Maybe they just hadn't found any lining material yet.
Yes it is aluminum on aluminum ha ha !!! I might just try to salvage the rim and spokes.
So like you'all said this bike has a lot of different parts form different bikes.
I'm focusing on the back wheel. Im assuming its a S2 , ( outside width is ~40mm / bead width is ~30mm ) and its in good shape. Already have the Bendix RB 2 speed auto apart and cleaned. It wasn't shifting into low, had a ton of red gooey/sticky grease in it. I've been wanting to get a balloon tire/rim combo to mess around with so this is it ! I think it will look cool on the back on my Typhoon! The Typhoon has a newly overhauled Yellow Band 2 sp so it will be fun to switch back a forth.
What tires do you'all recommend for a S2 rim?

Your back rim does look like one of the late S-2's. They were often unstamped, but they still had the double row of knurling. Like any S-2, they're not easy to find in good shape. Luckily, any 26 inch mountain bike tire will fit.
I finally got my hands on this frame. The serial number appears to be M38649 , a 1954. But the Schwinn catalog says Fleets didnt come out until 1962. Thoughts on what this frame could be? Or what the chain guard was from?
I replaced the battery on the tank horn, still works ! loud !
Thanks for any help

That has been repainted and the first number has been filled in. There should be a letter followed by 6 numbers and the number after the letter is the year. M is December so the frame was made the next year after the year of that stamping.
No idea what that guard is from.
