Motorized 1930s Schwinn Board Track Racer

[Venice Motor Bikes]

Here's some quick pix of a bike I've been slowly working on... It's a 1930s Schwinn 'C' Model.
It's powder coated Emerald Green, & I just scored some Felt 1903 wheels & tires for it; so I thought I would take some pix.
I also have a one of a kind 'in frame' tank that CCC made for it!

I'll post more pix real soon.

I like it, I can wait to see it completed. You build some awesome bikes Norm.

 

[culvercityclassic]

I agree with Dave. Did I build a tank for that bike???

 

[chainmaker]

Yeah like Dave said you build some great bikes Norm. I cant wait to see it.

I agree with Dave. Did I build a tank for that bike???

Yes, you built me a tank for it many moons ago!

I'll get more work done on it next week & post some pix.

Are the tires felt as well ? if not where might we be to purchase them and what would be the cost ?? went through the Felt catolog last night and didn't see those tires anywhere I like those

Norm,

These can be ordered from Pedals bicycle shop in Riverside, Ca. They only take a day or two to come in (I think Felt is in San Dimas?). Are they 26 x 2.35?
I saw them on a wide wheel and they looked AWESOME!

P.S I am a friend of Chris (Robertriley) and it is a tradition that we bag on each other. Dan is building one for me now. I know you stop by his place sometimes. Please, no spy photos for Chris.

Sorry, I smoke crack and get confused with "who's who". I think Norm is the one who visits Dan. Sorry.

We finally got around to doing more work on the green Schwinn...
Where the seat is being held, I want to cut off the seat tube of the frame so the seat will drop all the way down into that pocket of the frame & tire.

 

[silverbear]

The bike sure looks good, Norm. Dropping the seat like that will be perfect.

I see you've changed the tires, the cream colored tires looked so sweet!!
Might I suggest a Gyes leather saddle, Yah I'm always preaching on them but a GS-12 would look sooooo!!!! SSwwweeett!! www.crowcycleco.com is where you can find them,I've got five and they are comfortable and top Quality! they come in 4-colors
brn,blk,hny and natural.

I got the seat done & some temporary bars installed today.
I cut & welded a super 'lay back' seat post to get the seat so low.
I'm really liking the way this is turning out!

 

[silverbear]

Nice! That seat really does it.

Nice bike Norm!

 

[darkhawk22]

Great work Norm! That's gonna be a great bike!

I'm going to suggest a heresy. What about a pair of curved stays from the rear wheel spindle up to the back to the seat? It looks unsupported and unfinished to me right now.
