I was told this is a very big deal to the purists! They do have chips etc but have survived better than most! (see pics, I took lots and have nothing to hide).
If you EVER think you could use this do NOT miss out! Comes exactly as shown in the pics. This could be the perfect "missing link" for the right bike! I believe this fits late 1940s-mid 1950s Schwinn bike that do not have a skiptooth hub. (front is the same for skiptooth or non-skiptooth) You could put this on a Phantom, Panther, etc but they have chrome rims from the factory. This is a matched set removed from the same bike. The hardware shown is included. It has a Schwinn script front hub and a New Departure rear hub! I got this as a complete bicycle. I rarely part out bikes but a friend of mine tried to sell this one as a complete bike and sadly there was not much interest in this one as a complete bike. I have 12 SEPARATE auctions right now including the original paint deluxe frame INCLUDING a nice Admiral head badge, truss rod forks, tank with horn, fenders, clean factory painted and pinstriped S2 wheels, (New Departure rear hub) deluxe phantom/panther chainguard, fairly nice seat, handlebars assembly with neck, cranks and sprocket assembly, 6 hole rear carrier rack, "AS" seat post clamp, unique pedals, AND MORE! (the last pic shows the bike when it was assembled) They are all available on SEPARATE LISTINGS right now. I rode this bike a number of miles last summer and the wheels (and the bike) performed great! Please note, The paint is original but has chips, scratches, shows age, etc. (most bikes of this era have been repainted, rusted out, and even thrown away years ago) They should not be considered new or NOS. What you see is what you get in exact condition shown. The rates have gone up significantly as of late. They are all available right now! I try my very best to describe as accurately as possible.
