@@ReconnectingRoots No on that 38 cantalouver is the rear wheel laced with a morrrow Coaster braķe? Now if the letter says G 4 On the hub shell this could be the holy Grail of Cantilever Frame bicycle meaning this could be Built-in November Of 1937 Before it was the 1938 autocycle. . . .
Before he was part of American Pickers, Mike ran a bike shop in Eldridge, Iowa. Even then, he had a nice collection of high wheel bikes, an American Star, and a shaft drive bike. He was happy to talk about the stuff too! Nice guy.
This man has found some things I would flip out over!! I've would give Anything to be able to send him some pics of some things my fiance and myself have found throughout the yrs doing cleanouts. Actually have some pretty Amazingly Crazy things
If i had that Schwinn, I would tear it down completely and rebuild it with new up to date parts found on ATB'S and MTB'S with 'Motorcycle' type drum brakes, With multispeed gears, Plus new up to date tires found on today's beach cruisers.
That's unusual to see a double duty Fork when one takes one of those apart and overhauls the headset that fork is a mother to work with inputting it together I ought to know I have a 38 straight bar with that style Fork.
Man, love his passion and knowledge. So amazing to see!
Couldn't agree more!
