Progress - 1941 Schwinn New World

 

With the headlight for the 1941 Schwinn New World project arriving just in time to ride this evening, I was able to take the bike for a shakedown ride lasting about 60 minutes. The bike is comfortable to ride, with the taller touring bars and taller stem offering an upright ride. The only downside is that one of the pedal cones self-tightened to a degree during the ride. I reset it afterwards. 

I still have some cosmetic work to do on the bike, filling in little spots in the finish that are missing paint. 

So far though, this is a fun rider.
