My 1951 Schwinn D-12

[Casual dreamer]

Picked this one up from fellow caber @Danny the schwinn freak. It is a really nice original well cared for bike! Rides great, I was thinking of installing a set of those B.F. Goodrich silvertown clay colored tires I have. These ballooners are addictive!

Like this one a lot, Congrads!

I had J.C. Higgins Color Flows, Monarch Silver Kings, Roadmaster's, Hiawatha's, and a bunch of middle weight Schwinn's like Tiger, Spitfire, American, Flying Star etc. I thought they were all great until I road a nice prewar heavy weight Schwinn. Needless to say I no longer own any of the bikes I described. I moved on! The geometry of the frame fits my body better than any of the others and they seem to feel more solid or better built than any of the others. I'm hooked! LOL

I guess that's why they had a lifetime warranty and none of the others did.

Beautiful bike!

Indeed! Glad it’s in good hands!

I think red clay tires would look very good on that bike.

Me too.

Looks great as is.

Sharp bike, great condition.

Those reproduction BFGs are a little on the small side, fyi.
