my 1950 Schwinn Traveler (?) project

I will either find duplicate early 50's hoops or pick the best two and build wheels that have some bad spots in the chrome. if I were going with different hoops I'd get some newer aluminum ones and put modern 100 PSI tires on it.

I have torn the old rusty bell apart, and now it rings, I just have to figure out how I am going to put it back together as I had to cut it apart to get inside. probably a little spot weld will do it.

it has to have a bell because in Alameda where the bike was from, you had to have a bell to get a bike license. there is a 1959 license with the bike

Try a little J.B. Weld, that should take care of that..

rode it today with 3 speed wheels from a much later ladies bike and added an NOS chain guard. still need to dial everything in.
