40’s Schwinn DX klunker Build?

Loving that bar/stem set up. What are the bars?

Don’t know really, came off a bmx frame I picked up somewhere. Chrome knee savers. Not staying just wanted to see it with chrome bars and those were all I had.

May have come off a Free Agent or Mongoose frame.

Probably from the 'goose, don't think FA used the curved tubes

Been slow work this. Paints been a nightmare but progress is being made.

New frame in hand, don’t know much about it. Obviously a Hiawatha no clue model or year maybe someone here can help with that. Pretty sure with some soap water scrub then some boiled lineseed oil the old paint details are gonna pop. $20 pick up so no huge risk on this one.

Little bit of scrubbing, any tops on getting the bits of surface rust off?

I couldn’t wait to throw it together a bit just to see. Very excited about how this will eventually end up
