Let’s see those Cantilever deluxe auto cycles

How did this frame style get the word Cantilever attached to it?
When I look up cantilever online I get these results.......A cantilever is a rigid structural element that extends horizontally and is supported at only one end. Typically it extends from a flat vertical surface such as a wall, to which it must be firmly attached. Like other structural elements, a cantilever can be formed as a beam, plate, truss, or slab.
Or....a long projecting beam or girder fixed at only one end, used in bridge construction.

This ad from 1938 helps explain it a bit.

Definition of cantilever truss​

: a horizontal truss supported at the middle and sustaining a load at one end or both ends (as in a cantilever bridge).

I still think its a stretch.....but acceptable.

WHY DO THE MAJORITY OF SCHWINN DELUXE BIKES END UP IN CALIFORNIA?
TOO MANY POSTED TO COUNT. ANYONE TAKE A COUNT?

Probably because we have more people than any other state.
