Late '41 Schwinn DX "defense model"

Finally riding a big boys bike
This is my latest score, my good buddy and fellow CABEr decided to sell me this great bike! I have wanted it since I first saw it and I'm elated to add it to my collection. Last night I added the repop US Royal chain tires and did a minor tune-up, it rides great! Now I'm on the hunt for a set of correct Torrington pedals for it, I might have been bitten by the prewar bug!

The '42 catalog was a recycled '41 catalog using the same pictures, the text about the models is different however.
