44 Schwinn dx Klunker

[Ingola]

I got this 44 Schwinn I little while ago
Was pretty beat up was used as yard decore

 

[Ingola]

Started by taking it a part it was as easy as you would think an 80 year old bike would be

 

[Ingola]

Stretched it out

Now this Arya RM 25 fits with a sun tour Xc freewheel to fit

Now time to wait for the braze ons to come in

DX
The reason those ones are so rare is that a crazy group of hippies threw them off the sides of mountains back in the day. That frame is the origins of the Mountain Bike thing. It's hard for me to say wether I like this one or your Typhoon more.

 

[Ingola]

This sun tour Xc derailer will do nicely
This will all be washed once the bike is mocked up

Neat project! It was not made in 44, based on the kickstand alone, probably 47 or later.
