1948 Schwinn WZ/S4 bicycle.
Built by Schwinn for the Whizzer motor. ORIGINAL!!!!! not restored.
Rebuilt "H" motor.
99 points at last show [possible 100].
All replacement parts are 100% correct and most are NOS.
Motor rebuilt with NOS parts.
120 guage spokes, S-2 rims, all bearings serviced. Rear HD New Departure coaster hub rebuilt. Coaster hub correct for 120 guage spokes.
Has special brake arm extension and welded mount used on the WZ/S4 series Schwinn.
Original seat re-covered.
All bolts, nuts, & washers correct [square nuts, etc].
HD front springer [HD spring is NOS].
Skip tooth chain.
Original belt & chain guard included.
Original Schwinn front brake [rebuilt] with correct lever.
Vintage Carlisle 26 X 2.125 whitewall tires [perfect condition]
Rear drop stand & clip
Original clutch [new bearing], motor mounts, throttle & compression control.
This bike is one of a kind because it is just like it should be after 62 years of use. Not restored [a bike can be restored hundreds of times, but is original only once].
All moving parts, bearings, grease, & motor completely rebuilt, but maintained original status.
This is much better than a "barn find" because it is ready to ride for thousands of miles.
BTW I lost one point in the last show because of the electronic ignition module [replaces points for better fire], and the original points [NOS] are included with bike. Had I not told the judges it would have scored 100 points because the module is under the points cover and can't be detected.
I will also include the correct Whizzer decals for the gas tank.
Original Whizzers are far more valuable than a restored Whizzer.
I ride this bike often and is one of my favorites. Need space, must go!
Estimated value $2800.00.
Will sell for $1800.00, with 1 year guarantee on motor.
I doubt that more than a couple , if any, exist. It attracts more attention than any of the 20 Whizzers in my collection.
Could really be called a "rat bike", because it is original.
Located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
