They say, that Schwinn collecting, is all about color and condition.
I don’t think that’s necessarily true, but I do admit a certain weakness when it comes to unusually interesting colors, and who can argue when a bike is still in somewhat good condition?
So, when the opportunity arose, to pick up another Schwinn B6, I couldn’t resist adding this 1941 Chicago Cycle Supply, Cadillac, to the collection.
The color is listed as, Traverse Green & Ivory.
It’s really kind of a turquoise blue, but I guess it’s called Traverse Green, because the color is traversing from green to blue?
Anyway, it’s an odd color that Schwinn added to the lineup in 1940/41.
It’s usually paired up with Robins Egg Blue.
I liked the Ivory accents on this one, but when I saw this blue wall nearby, I thought I’d see how it looked, in contrast.
It definitely gave this shot, an interesting visual effect.
