Schwinn D-12? Correct parts questions

Yes, that bike is going to remain in its present condition.View attachment 943862

Oh my gosh, it’s beautiful. Honestly that appeals to me more than mine. If you ever want to sell this bike or work some kinda trade, hit me up. What a beauty!

Shows it to be Sept 1953 bike. The serial is the right size and everything to be authentic. Looks like the fender braces were also touched up with silver paint.

Yeah, definitely an authentic bike. I don’t believe the fender braces have been touched. Sommareas have mild corrosion on them and others don’t

Great survivor...hard to find in blue...looks all correct with addition of braces

Thank you. What do you mean by addition of braces?

Danny, here is a '51 D-12 I owned several years ago, with a locking springer. I believe it was special ordered this way. Truss rods were an option that could be added as well.

Price sheet that GTs58 shared with me on 2/12/16 showing the springer upgrade, truss rods as well as other options:

I’d leave the truss rods on it, looks rad!!!!!

That one looks really good with the springer. It came up in google images when I searched Schwinn D-12. Love it

I do too, I just love the simple look without them.

Something more to my liking has come along. I think I want to sell this one to finance the other. Can you guys give me a good idea of a price to put on it? I want to get as much as I can without pricing it too high. Just want to get some info before I post if for sale in the complete bike’s section. Thank you.
