Front spokes replaced 4 spokes and nipples with NOS Union spokes/nipples. Front wheel bearings replaced with NOS Hartford bearings. Pedals replaced with period correct immaculate Schwinn Approved waffle pedals. Kickstand worn dowel pin for cam sprag was replaced with a new.

The parts were selected in an effort to make the bicycle appear as original as possible with the ability to ride the bicycle daily as it was intended. The tires, tubes, rim strip, seat, and sissy bar are the only non-Schwinn or non-Schwinn Approved parts. The paint and decals are original and have the patina of a 52 year old bicycle. The rear chrome fender has some nicks on the kickstand side and the rest of the chromed parts do have some minor pitting and scratches.

The rear rim has two small dents that dont affect the ride. One of the handgrips is worn on the bar end. Overall, this 52 year old bike is in remarkable shape and the pictures can't show well enough what a fine bike this is.
