I live for the CABE
Had a chance to spend some time with this. While paint is nice someone clear coated it with some stuff that Goo Gone melts. A real messy PITA to clean but gotta be done. Serial number says it’s a 1950 so off comes the Hornet decal on chainguard which didn’t make an appearance until 1952. Will put a BFG roundel on CG instead of the Schwinn one. Also add a Schwinn decal on seat tube to look proper. Decided to swap out 1/2” drive train/60’s Kickback drivetrain for a skip tooth / sweetheart chainring / ND mod D drivetrain. Tires are non-matching no-name blackwalls so will put on a set of old period correct Nylon Goodyear All Weather tires until I can find/afford a set of Silvertown’s. Also on the lookout for a proper Mesinger B1 to replace repop Persons saddle from a repop ColumbiaRX5. Pedals are off a repop Phantom, so will look for a set of clean Torrington’s. Like my bikes clean and simple so removed speedo and modern vinyl West Point sticker. It’s always something, but that’s what makes this hobby fun! Not a huge fan of fully restored bikes but killer price on this FB Marketplace fund pulled the bux out of my pocket like magic! Pictures to follow.
