Repop Schwinn Springer for Whizzer Special build

[skeezer]

Looking for a nice/NOS repop Schwinn springer fork from one of the the anniversary models. I think they were sold by themselves in addition to being offered on the bikes. Anyone have an extra laying around? I came across a NOS 1952 Schwinn DX with the modifications to be a Whizzer Special frame. As my 2nd frame up build, I am trying to stay as authentic as possible. Thanks.

Do you know who did the modifications?

It's a factory Schwinn frame with dimpled frame and welded motor mounts, rear wheel adjusters, and brake stay.

Alright. So it was an original whizzer special? Or were the mods added by another person more recently?

I'm saying original and there was no evidence of any hardware ever attached to it. A couple years ago, I was lucky enough to find a 52 NOS Pacemaker frame also.
