1941 OCC Schwinn DX Hybrid "Generation Gap"

[Xcruiser]

Was kinda sitting on this frame for build off time but Ive built bikes for alot of others lately and figure doing one for myself wont hurt.
Its a 1941 Schwinn DX frame.I was determined to have tube forks of some kind on it but didnt want to pay a ton for a set so I started experimenting with different size OCC stingray forks until one worked.They are off a 16" occ and easily accept 26 wheels.I intended to use 24x3.0 tires front and back but Im sure I will be limited to 26x2.125 on the front and 24x3.0 rear.
I like the old mixed with new idea on bikes so I tossed the bars off a 20/24 OCC on it.

Its just at the mockup/concept stage right now with some rusty S-7's on it.Plan on a full job,paint,polish etc.
I like the stance at the moment.

Can tell already that the stance is cool. Looking forward to this build.

Hope to,the only ones Ive found are postwar repros one of the big ebay sellers is claiming are NOS at a crazy price as usual.

you could modify the fat triangular top tube from an OCC bike as the tank, which would keep with the theme.

I like the way the forks work with that bike. I just picked up a baby OCC today for $5 and have already stripped it down for parts.
