Schwinn Pullman Motorbike pulled off the farm

[Wards Guy..]

I don’t have all the details but my brother just grabbed this bike for me on an old farm in Nebraska. 1930s? It’s been on its side for about 50 years. Tank still in tact. Any thoughts for display or rider?

Maybe a little glass inside to hold that tank together, a Schwinn sprocket & wheels and make that a rusty rider, serial #'s?

1935 Schwinn Cycleplane. That tank is too far gone for fiberglass and would disentgrate the more you mess with it. Would make a cool wall hanger though!

I would agree. Might be lucky to get it off without it turning to rust crumbs; Rest of the bike could be worthy of a build though. Whether rat, klunker or period with a OA bath

Looks like 1936:

Ah yes. Good eye. I was too focused trying to look at the rear stays in what you can see from the photos.

Or at least parked it in the dry area of the barn!

First off...congrats to your brother Ward's guy for finding such a neat piece of Schwinn bicycle history. He had a good eye! I concur its a 1936..frame/narrow fenders seem to indicate this. With like condition parts to make complete-this would make a great.....'relic rat rod' rider. Sure its a bit rough and probably beyond what 99% of us would consider salvageable but certainly not a garden sculpture-wall hanger(art piece!)-maybe. If only it could tell us about the years of neglect back to its days of glory when it left the showroom! Great find-any as found pictures-a story of its past?

Rubber, grease, and go. It'll get more looks than anything else you own
