(I believe originally came with 26 wheels and balloon tires) I was told this was made in 1935. The serial number is stamped on the bottom of the cranks housing but I did not want to scrape the paint.
This is one of the coolest design early bicycles I have seen! These are next to impossible to find in any condition! Prewar Schwinn is the HOTTEST bikes you can ask for int he world of bike collecting. This is the perfect basis for your prewar Mead Ranger tank bike! This one includes the rare TALL frame, forks, (they are straight and hard to find) non original thrush rods, MAJESTIC head badge, bearing cups, and everything shown!
These bikes a very cool and are a super RARE find in ANY condition these days! Have you ever heard of the World War 2 Scrap Drives? Basically the government collected up anything that was made of metal to help out with the war efforts.It gave communities a great sense of pride to donate ANY extra pots, pans, bicycles, motorcycles, cars, etc to help produce items for the war effort. If people had 2 pans and only realyl needed one, they would give up the extra.
So, this era of motorbikes were almost 20-30+ years old at the time. They were simply considered used bicycles then so very few of them survived. Check out the COOL unique rear dropouts! DIMENSIONS I believe this to have been born with 26 wheels and BALLOON tires.
The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 20. The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22 1/2.
The hot rod and rat rod bikes are HOT right now! Add your parts and have a COOL bike at a super low price! These parts NEVER come along! This is the VERY FIRST one of these I have ever had! I have never seen one of these for sale at a swap meet or even in a bike show!A RARE UNIQUE bike frame! It has been hidden away for decades waiting for the opportunity to make it into something cool once again! I got it just like you see it. What you see is what you get in exact condition shown.
It was painted red at some point. A cool fun RARE project! I always try to keep things as fair as possible. They are all available right now!
