MN SMITH that old Schwinn sure brings back a lot of childhood memories.Back in the 40s that was the dream of every kid in school to own one of them. I never had the priveledge of having a Schwinn,in fact there were only 2 or 3 kids whose parents could afford to spring for one.I had a couple of bikes in the 40s but they were used and cost 3 or 4 dollars each.Anyway its nice to see a picture of one all restored to original condition.
