My New Schwinn Autocycle

[Rust_Trader]

Thanks to the CABE i came across this autocycle on this thread

http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?12957-The-Award-for-Best-Craigslist-Picture-goes-to....

After a few weeks talking to the owner i finally made a decent deal and it finally arrive today from Indiana.

The frame i believe was repainted i rubbed some compound and a shinny maroon paint came out but no pinstriping designs so i assume this bike was all repainted????


serial number starts with Z i taken a picture if anyone can help me give me an idea of the year, the fork is not a locking fork.

The adjustable neck is all metal, the handlebars have 4 holes i assume its for the wiring of the cross speedo button cables.

Original fender bomb ornament

Fenders dont have flat braces??? rear fender has a schwinn scripted reflector.

Front center drop wheel has a New Deaprture Front brake, back wheel has a new departure model D coster brake, also the axle has a spring at the end??> is it a 2 speed new departure hub brake??? If so does any one have the rest of the parts for sale? i included a picture of what im trying to describe.

Pogo Seat is all there without the leather

Jewel tank has both reflectors that are schwinn scripted one is cracked, the inside side of the jewel has some writting on it pat pending numbers i would imagen??

Seiss lights with bracket one is missing a lense If anyone has ONE for sale i would be interested in buying it please let me know.


So this is what I got, I hope it's an autocycle but at least it has all the cool original parts of one.

I also need the right pedals, so what on this? I added some AS pedals but it came with some Wald metal pedals.

Also does anyone have the clamps to hang the tank? I would be interested on a set of originals.

Thanks all.

I'm not experienced enough with the prewar Schwinns to say with confidence, but you got what looks to me like a really nice bike there. Please show us more as you get it all put together!

I have to clean it up and get a lense and the clamps for the tank to put it all together and I will take more pictures thanks I think this looks super cool.



Hey Dave I found one and I only paid 32.5% of his asking price for it I think it was a good deal :0.


I finally have an original fender bomb ornament lol that's what excited me the most.
