My first prewar schwinn!!!

[Casual dreamer]

Found this one at a local antique store, it's pretty roached but I like it! Would like to find out what year it is. It has new departure hubs front and back, I'm tempted to try an oxalic acid bath!

Lots of great parts on that bike. Those are really nice riders so any effort you put in that bike will reap rewards. Congrats!

Serials can be practically worthless on their own for these prewar bikes, or a decent guide depending on badging, model, etc. The parts are what tells us the likely model year - 1938. Common to see an older frame used for a BFG build, similar to Rangers and ChiCyCo.

The serial number suggests, 38, but I'm going to go out on a limb, and say that it used to be a 39 Streamliner.
If the AS bolts in the fork spring carriage are the long type, that could be a tell tale.
The Persons Streamlined pedals are another testament to it being that model.
