Wanted: 58’ Schwinn straight bar frame

[Mymando]

Looking for a 58’ Schwinn straight bar frame. Heavyweight so I can use S-2 wheels & parts I have for the build. Prefer not to have to paint but I can. So let me know. I do have stuff to trade? See pic pulled from archives…Thanks

I don't think there is such a frame, only models in 58 using a Heavyweight frame were Phantom & Wasp ( ? ) and both were cantilever.

Hmmmm thought they made a straight bar B frame they made them in 57’ didn’t they?

You can run S-2 wheels and 2.125 tires on the '58 straight bar even with fenders

I have a 46-47 BFGoodrich Schwinn DX that I might be parting out ,the BFG bikes had a BFG specific paint job , not typical Schwinn paint job

Does it need to be a later frame, or just a heavyweight straight bar frame?

 

[Mymando]

Well I’m really trying to find a 58’ frame. I have some other straight bar frames just trying find one since it’s the year I was born. That’s the biggest reason.

Your DX is not a straight bar or a 58?, I think 56 was the last straight bar heavyweight, can't find a 58 catalog but there are none in the 57 or 59 catalog so if it has to be 58 ( your b-day bike ) you probably have to go cantilever if you want heavyweight.

Your DX is not a straight bar or a 58?, I think 56 was the last straight bar middleweight & heavyweight, can't find a 58 catalog but there are none in the 57 or 59 catalog so if it has to be 58 you probably have to go cantilever and came in both weights.

1960 had a twin straight bar TORNDO
