Wartime Schwinn New World Bikes - We Know You Have Them - Tell Us About Them!!

@sirmike you were right about the stand. The xpt did work, but not as good as the wald. My miller stands didn't fit in the space as well.

Got around to reverse engineering a guard on from a Continental that I also found at the Monroe swap. Also swapped out the tires for some 26x1 1/14 70psi that roll exceptionally well. They're not marked schwinn s5 but they fit. Added on the miller generator light parts which had some issues.

One last side view current set up. Eventually I suppose it's gonna end up with the 3sp and dynohub from the 53 cws hurricaine, that are marked 50.

That kickstand doesn't look like a Miller to me for some reason. Any ideas? The rear reflector seems different than any I've seen. ??

Yea was wondering about that rear reflector, as well. The catalog just says jewel, but shows the flat one.

It has the same fender stay setup that mine has, which is more similar to the way the english bikes are, except they have a separate fender to frame attachment bracket.

in the process of putting this 42 together with white fenders.. thought I had a black fork but it was for a smaller frame.

I have a black fork off of the ‘42 ladies bike I parted. I’ve noticed a couple different styles, which, or does it matter, are you looking for? I can post pictures later.

This New World is an eBay sale Henderson badged ladies' model, serial H85069. Has a locking fork. It looks to me like the brake levers have been swapped for English-made types from after WWII. Single speed freewheel. I think it is already on the list, but it's for sale on eBay if anyone is nearby and wants it.

that's mine.

This is the Planes and Trains New World back on the road.

Love it!
I’m sure it’s a pleasure to ride.

@SirMike1983 you've put quite a few of these back on the road. The multi gear hub and big rear sprocket must be great for climbing hills on this one. Thanks for posting your updates here all these years Mike! You put together some fine bikes.
