Wore out three sets of tires already!
Cool. Kinda looks more 40ish with the smaller fenders. Love a black DX
Thanks, yep it's a 1941, I call it my "Pearl Harbor" bike, Morrow hub dated 2Q of 1941, '41 crank.
You may be right about '40 fenders-Prewar Schwinn was already shifting production to war materials per the 50th Annvsy book.
I think they pulled parts from wherever they could get them as they wound down bike production. This has Elgin truss bars (40 mi from Chicago) and a Rollfast stem so not crazy to think they pulled earlier fenders from the parts bin, "Sacrifices must be made"
