Something I've been working on ....

[Obi-Wan Schwinnobi]

I've always thought they looked cool, and the catalog renderings show them that way on the Motorbike/Cycleplanes.
But, was told by the folks in the know, that they didn't actually come that way.
It's kind of like the gothic ring on the Aerocycle.
The drawings show them with that ring, and that type of ring does exist, but every unmolested original as found Aerocycle always has the Sweetheart ring on it.
Motorbikes are the same way.

What about Tony's aerocycle I posted above? Thoughts?

Tony's Aero looks like it had a 1/2" pitch chain on it

Tonys is half inch. No matter how much one hopes to rewrite history, that ring never came on a schwinn after 34-35, especially as late as 38-39. I'm not saying I've seen every bike but I have seen a ton and none ever had that.

That's the way I roll on all the 36 cycleplanes I've owned. I have a good source that says otherwise but who knows...

Looks great! Congrats on getting it done and assembled - well done. IF I remember correctly ND Model W axles, cones, nuts etc work in the big high low brakes.
