Is that chainring common for 54 Schwinn’s?
I see a lot of chainrings with the 4 circles.
The reason why I’m asking is that I’m working on Streamliner that is a 1954 or 1956. I want the correct chainring. If anyone could help that would be great.

Although not scientific, I'd suspect the older style pictured above is correct for an S2 equipped heavyweight Streamliner whereas a later, S7 equipped middleweight bike would have the cloverleaf sprocket. Does your bike have S7s or S2s? Getting that SN buttoned down would help a lot, too.

That helps, I do have S-2 rims. My frame and fork are for the S-2 rims, too. My SN is in both years which I understand is not uncommon. Thanks

^Ah, I see your dilemma. Being a heavyweight bike, I'd lean on it being more on the '54 side then. Some folks smarter than me can chime in here on which year the Streamliner made the transition to being a middleweight, but I bet you need the older sprocket pictured above.

Riding One Of My Monark Super Deluxe's
Lots of work trying to keep the ole boy as he was when he was taken apart over 25 years ago and boxed up. The attention to the individual parts is really paying off now (only things replaced are bearings). Beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel!! Last thing will be a wipe down of the painted areas.
