Spring is here in full force this week. It is now quite warm and the days are getting longer. I rebuilt this WWII era Schwinn New World last summer and fall.
It is a mixture of parts: 1942 frame/fork/core; 1948 fenders; 1939-41 era handlebars; 1950s stem; 1940-41 era bottom bracket set; late 1930s/early 1940s chain guard; post-war Schwinn S6 wheels built with new spokes; 1948 brake set; new Gyes leather saddle; new cr-mo seat post; new retro LED lights; a retro Greenfield black kickstand; and a Banjo Brother barrel bag with new WWII US wings pin.
It's quite an array of old parts, but I think it all comes together nicely, with a period art deco aviation theme.
