Schwinn Continental Clubman Project

[WillWork4Parts]

Schwinn Stainless S-6 stamped rims...also note that they're Tubular Construction, but do not have a hooked bead edge...and no drain holes(to get that annoying tumbling sand sound out!)

Front wheel is back together though.

Also picked this up today...if anything, for continuity's sake.

Still has the same candy paint with gold box pins, the frame And fork both have a silver base coat on them.

Feels odd to have such similar serial numbers together. ...and not be in the serial number book.

Or did they really produce 2372 Continental Bottom Brackets on 7-24-50?

Nice TC frame! Is that all you got, just the frame?

The person that typed up your list made an error so they didn't stamp 2372 shells on 7/24/50. Here's the actual list and after the 7/19/1950 stamping up to 2662 yours should start with 2663 on 7/24/50.
I figure Schwinn had two unrecorded stampings between January 19,1949 and the July 18,1950 stamping.

I have T002261, which is only slightly higher than the T002171 shown earlier in the thread.

That's what I figured. And yeah, that's all I got was a frame, fork, and 3 headset races. Bike was parted out years ago.
I wonder is there any other website to find info on
the hand brazed frames, Paramounts, and the shop they were assembled in? I understand there used to be one that's no longer online....

Alright, final answer on paint color!

I don't know how many times I overlooked this, but in the middle left it calls out "Opalescent Maroon." I even came across a few other post war Continentals that are the same color here in other threads.
