You do a nice job with a camera too! The backlit wheel shadows have me purplexed. Welcome.

Love the El Camino! Welcome. I've seen quite a few nice bikes come from the Crust Belt!

1939 DX My 1939 Schwinn DX Excelsior badged with reverse color scheme. My fave!

Really nice bike. They truly are a great cruiser and a last breath of greatness from a dying brand.

I've done the same. Most folks I send a gentle reminder will follow up with feedback. I ALWAYS leave feedback. Speaking of fads, I went for years without a problem seller. Twice recently I had to file a complaint with eBay over non-shippers. I can testify that if a seller has negative...

Skiptooth setups reline the cool-o-meter. Go over to the auction site and buy a clean looking used diamond for $50 - $75 bucks. Drop it on and ride it hard. Worth the price. I've bought two of them with no issues. I've cleaned up rusty frozen ones from old bikes by soaking a week in both...

Yea, paint scheme is saying 1950 Hornet or Spitfire. Panthers did not use that paint scheme that I know of. Both Hornet and Spitfires were badged with BF Goodrich badges with Schwinn Built in small script below and i agree they used the Challenger name on the tank. I could be wrong but the two...

Agreed, that's really cool. Looks good too...for a green bike.

I agree with the "like it" croud. After a short time you will be kickin it without even thinking about it. IMHO even better is the earlier manual version. It stays in the same gear until you use the shifter lever.

Petroleum based oils will evaporate fairly quick. Sporting goods stores sell an animal grease used to protect the bore on black powder rifles. It's called Bore Butter. Used for long term storage of fire arms. A thin coat last a very long time.

Man, you have my dream bike! Love it!

It's just a dorky looking but here's my 60's Bell Storm Trooper bike helmet. (smoke visor included) Search "vintage Helmets".

If I could add, I believe the low gear ratio is .67/1

Having shipped quite a few bikes, I have found a couple of options that are (on average) cheaper. If shipping a regular size bike box, UPS has an over size package charge that FedEx does not. That's usually about a $15 up charge UPS won't tell you about but will be added to the price and which...

Aircraft brand stripper will remove it but you will likely send everyone in your building to the hospital. I agree with the others on media blasting it.

Wow! That's the bomb! Excellent work.

I understand and agree with your point but that works both ways. I recently replied to a post for a post war locking springer. I didn't call dibbs or commit to buy but was was the first responder. Because of the poor quality of few photos, I asked specifics about the condition of the chrome...

Very nice work!

My 1940 Schwinn Roadster

Someone's going to have to explain to me how he does it. Even a blue overdrive 2 speed shouldn't be capable of that.
