Local "Whizzer" Find

[Handyman]

I was recently talking to a gentleman who claimed to have a “Whizzer” motorbike in his barn. Following up on the lead, this is what I discovered. He claims it is built on a Schwinn Patriot frame, 40’s vintage, is a model “H”, and does start. I am mildly interested and looking for thoughts from the Whizzer crowd. Pete in Fitchburg

Nice. Looks like a prewar Pioneer badged DX frame.

Would be a worthwhile project.

The engine is an older F model not an H. Not many F's around. Great bike all around in my book

If you get the bike leave patina on the badge.

Kinda rare bird attached to an original frame.

Rare engine. Desirable more for as a collectors item than a rider.

Hello, I'm owner of this subject Model F Whizzer on a pre-war Schwinn "Pioneer" model bike. I'm looking to sell it. $1200. I'm in central MA near Fitchburg. It's not running but was running well. It appears the problem is weak or no spark, compression is ok. Jim
