LET'S SEE YOUR SCHWINN C MODEL

This is my 38 model c rat bike

Original untouched as found double diamond fat fender C model. I picked it up about 6 years ago. Still dusty and collecting patina

This is the only set of images of a DD framed C model with fenders, original or otherwise that I have seen. I have been searching the interwebs everywhere and come up empty. ALL the rideable C Model framed bikes with straight rear stays I have seen were built as a klunker. I know some say it's not a true double diamond frame, 'nother story I guess.

Interesting fork on that bike. I've seen a couple other Schwinns with that fork but wonder what the story is? V/r Shawn

The paint on the fork looks to be a match, yet the fender has provisions for truss forks. These C Models can be so mysterious.

Didn't know that tank would fit a C model?

I was pretty surprised when I tried it too! Actually fits this frame better than it fits in a post war. I made no modifications to it.

Here is one very similar owned by @REC , It's the only other I've come across.
