    Prepper Bug out Bike

    You guys are pretty savvy here. What have you put together as your end of the world as we know it bike.

    Difference between Prewar Schwinns (rangers, packards, aces)

    Not an expert but, don't get caught up with the head badges. 39 looks different than the 40/41. All three look pretty cool. There are Schwinn catalogs that can be found through google and plenty of online examples. 41 DX in front. C frame in rear:
