Toolbox, I can email you the exploded view of that hub if you need it. I am guessing you probably already have it.
In 2000 I ebayed my mint ivory and light red '49 hornet with phantom seat, springer, rocket ray and taillight rack. The plan was to replace it with a B-107 with fenderlight--black and ivory. I have a '48 World straightbar frame, nice original locking springer, redband kickback hub and a few other parts. Still collecting the rest, but it could take years. Much like VWs, ebay has has driven the value of original parts for these bikes through the roof.
I miss taking my cruiser out for ice cream, and wish I had never sold it. |
Wow, look at this old thread.
Here are some pix of the bike I was talking about. I finally have them hosted online.

I have his and hers schwinn World ten speeds from the late 70's
(the wife's bike still has og tires on it and hold air just fine) but a bit of rust starting to form on the rims, what do you guys use to clean the rims that will not damage the crome? I have found that some crome cleaners can shine up just fine but a year later the rust is back ten-fold |

0000 steel wool works great! I've used it on rims for a while. It's a lot of work (about an hour per wheel, depending on condition), but it is worth it!

Funny, I came in here to start a schwinn thread and there already was one....I didnt even have to search. 
Anyway, I have a '52ish meteor that I got for free. I was picking up a 71 westy and saw it sitting there. Asked if he would throw it in with teh bus and he said yes. I ride it to this day, all original, skip-tooth chain etc.
Here it is with my single cab.
I just picked up a late 40's girls bike that I am going to restore. The girlfriend doesnt like the "patina" as much as I do and wants a "nice" bike. I told her "nice" is all original, including paint. O well, I have actually wanted to restore one for a while but I didnt want to strip the paint on mine, so Im going to restore hers.
Here is a link to the pictures of the new bike. It was missing hte rims when I got it, so I put mine on to show the girlfriend its potential. She would not have appreciated it had I shown it to her the way it was brought home. It didnt have wheels and the fenders were not on it. Anyway, its about to get stripped and redone, I just need some parts before I get started. Anyone have any 26" S2 rims for sale?
