Thank you. And I built that bike around 1974 and was about 13 years old. As I mentioned in my introduction post, a neighborhood kid gave me the frame for free and I added the saddle, handlebars and wheels/rims. Also removed the chain guard (it was popular to do that with dirt bikes). Back when I built it, there were still a lot of dirt trails within one or two miles from where I live. Here is another photo.
Musselman finned rear hub that I did machined down.
Nice Racer !! I see an older man riding one daily in my area ! It is mint like yours ! I can't belive how many old schwinns are being ridden with the covid stay at home and ride a bike !!
Sweeetttttttt
Sears Roebuck on the seat tube would suggest that it's an Elgin. You can also see part of a teal and orange Elgin head badge in the one picture. It also has an air-cooled Elgin rear hub. F = 1941.
