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

I take it from GTs58's "Like" of Try 3 that the Bricycle pics are visible now.

A couple of things. I started the original post about Bricycle's NW when they shut the site down and updated it. I finished it when the lights came back on later that night.

It seems like cutting and pasting pictures is a lot more finicky than it used to be. I used to be able to quickly cut and paste pics from private messages into new posts, and also from the Snipping Tool in Windows. Doesn't seem like that's working right. I'll see if someone already mentioned it to the Admins.

I trust you'll figure it out. You've done pretty damned good so far!

This is just to let you know that "Try #3" worked.

@Oilit Thank you!

It turns out the Cut and Paste functionality is whacked out when using Internet Explorer/Edge. When I use another browser like Chrome, it works fine.

You can see this right?

Another D four number serial on this really super nice condition example.To bad not many around back then (2007) to help out with the OP's questions.

Can anyone date this New World? | Vintage Lightweight Bicycles

My 30s vintage Schwinn New World (serial # D6340) makes it into North Louisiana Military and Aviation Museum. I think these were first built in 1939. Can anyone date this one with more precision based on serial number or components? (See photos) Another question: Were the "Victory Bikes"...

Nice find @GTs58 ! BikeBug has a nice 1940 bike with the 3 piece cranks etc. We've been on a good run of 1940 New Worlds lately!!

Wish Bob "Pre-War New World Project in the Shed" Hufford - Springfield, MO was still around to tell us about his projects too.

That’s one beautiful machine!!

Here’s a 1940 pair owned by @Brent. Very nice and mostly original.

Thanks @rollfaster ! Those are in great shape. Maybe @Brent can help me fill in the serial numbers for the chart. The men’s bike looks like a good rider with the modern pedals.

What's up with Brent's girls "Hat in the Ring" seat post decal? Is that one of the early early decals? All gold and no background colors?
