Just picked up this Ace badged Schwinn last night

[Freqman1]

My DX has the fork stops and curved tube but according to one serial number source it's number is a 1939 ?

Can we see the whole bike? Serial looks 1940 to me. V/r Shawn

Found this on Google for prewar dates. It has proven true for a few bikes I've tried researching. ..... I'm just looking for knowledge I'll definitely give credit to those who figured this out. .... thanks again. .

nice job straightening out the shipping damage! I like this bike.

That bike is a 40'
DX's are easy to figure out prewar
39 with drop stand straight down tube C mod fenders C mod guard
40 curved down tube Miller stand C mod fenders C guard
41 curved down tube Miller stand Wide fenders Feather guard

Never go strictly by serial numbers with these (Schwinn) bikes...look at the equipment

looks a lot like the one I got from Ozark Flyer.....
