Wore out three sets of tires already!
I'm working on a really exciting build: Project Hawthorne De Luxe: Putting a 100 year old bicycle on the road for $100, and I need your help!

There are a few parts that I really need, in any solid condition:
  • Pair of 27 x 1 1/4 tires, solid white. Just need to be functional.
  • Coke bottle hand grips, either in white, beige, or dark blue
  • Chain tensioner bolts (2)
  • Bell or other accessory designed to mount next to neck on handlebars
  • 1910s or 1920s era New Departure hubs, both front and rear, rear with skip tooth hub and coaster brake. Or possibly Morrow. Or possibly just a New Departure brake arm. Will trade for the Elgin hub that I have
  • Shiny (either new or otherwise) spokes for a pair of 27 inch wheels.
  • Missing parts for Badger Solar lamp
  • Drop stand to fit (Hey, I can dream!)
I've got a ton of parts that are available for trade:

1939 Cleveland Welding Co. bicycle. Full details here. Now needs a couple of links for the chain.

All of these are Schwinn parts, excepting the yellow handlebars.

I believe that the GT400 and GT100 derailleurs are correct for some models of Schwinn Krate and Fastback, as well as some of the brakes and brake levers. The specifics of such things are beyond my knowledge set.

I'd like to be able to make this an amazing bike and stay close to the budget. I appreciate your help.

Curious- you are asking for 27 inch tires, yet the photo is definitely a 26 x 2.125 wheel.
Are the tires for a different bike?
