Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Older restoration some 20 years back of a 1947 'fat bar' B107 straight bar Autocycle. From a recently liquidated
Northern Calif collection. This is the tail end, and some of my favorites, of roughly 90 bicycles that were
recently sold. This one survived the damp weather and storage situation in remarkable condition...only showing
some minor peppering on the Pat Pending rear expander brake hub shell. Bike was fully restored, painted with
single stage (no glossy clear coat) automotive paint, rechromed, new cad plating, nickle plating etc. All original
parts, not repro stuff aside from a pair of Schwinn 95' Anniversary Typhoons. If desired I could swap out the WW's
for a set of Mint NOS Black Wall USA Typhoons, or an excellent pair of Goodyear All Weather blackwalls.
One of my favorite color combos that Schwinn offered for 'slight additional cost' back in the day, two-tone red
with Gold pinstripes. This bike literally 'glows' in the sunlight. Locking Schwinn springer with orig key,
Mesinger B1 deluxe saddle, 6 hole rack with original glass jewel, Restored original 3" Schwinn deluxe
fender reflector, the list goes on. Full restoration to look as new, well restored stuff typically looks a bit
better than factory new, but this one was not 'over restored'. Correct application of plating and parts etc.
Super nice bike to hang on the wall like art, or ride and enjoy.
4500.00 shipped in 2 boxes I will split the shipping to Lower 48 states...
Also fine with shipping overseas at buyers expense.
