We're very interested in prewar bicycles and wartime era bicycles. We'd like to learn more about them and see existing examples....

1942 Schwinn Defense Model arrived today, no evidence of ever having a chain guard. Good honest piece of history we love bikes like this. .....fender braces are same color as the wheels. We're not going to clean it up but appears not to have black out hubs. Everything will be serviced making it a good rider...

Got this a few years back the day of the Ann Arbor meet.. poking around on craigslist after getting home from the swap and nabbed it while the other bike guys were busy. Needs a few things I'll likely never find but it's in original paint and quite decent. It has presence.
