Finally riding a big boys bike
Ok, Last year I bought this 1936 model C Schwinn (serial # L6405). Or I thought it was a Schwinn, now I'm not sure it is. So, I need some help in identifying what it is. There are some things that don't look right to me:
1. when I bought it it had some Rollfast type forks on it. (they fit it perfectly)
2. the head tube is 7 /14 long, every other prewar Schwinn I have has 6 1/4 long head tubes.
3. the top tubes are curved differently, than other Schwinns I have seen from that era.
4. the seat stays are longer than my other Schwinns.
5. the crank has M 36 stamped on it, If it was a Schwinn it should have AS 36 on it.
I have attached pictures of the crank, frame, and a primer red 1938 Motorbike frame I have for comparison. Thanks,
