Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
2400.00 shipped
NICE Schwinn B6 for sale. Three years ago I purchased this bike from a private auction firm in PA liquidating
automobiles, petrolania and bicycles. The pix were tiny so I gambled on it and I ended up spending the most I've ever
spent on a postwar autocycle once the buyer premium and their insane shipping costs were tallied.
There was no drum brake on the bike the way I purchased it, and the wheels were S-2s (incorrect for
the 47 bike) The rack and guard had been repainted, and the fenders were re striped. The rear fender was
was damaged in shipping......
So what ensued was a rebuilding of the bike as it should be. I added a nice original Lobdell drum brake
wheel set from another 46/47 project here.... Added a super nice NOS (with some minor shelf wear)
rear 6 hole carrier, super nice orig cobalt blue rear fender and guard.
The bike 'revived' nicely after a complete rebuild.
The result is a very nice looking original survivor early B6 with the Tapered kickstand and a beautiful
original prewar 1941 tank, which was on board at time of purchase. bike ranks at a solid condition 7
leaning towards an 8. Rode it at the beach for the 1st time yesterday and it turned heads even in a world
of 'retro' beach bikes that look so much like our old ballooners.
Will ship anywhere in the lower 48 states...
2400.00 shipped
may consider partial trades......+ cash (1930s-50s balloon stuff)
