I am completing an early Loop-Frame Pacemaker project with bicycle seat-post and bolt-on engine brackets. I was told these were part of an original run of 500 that Whizzer produced (or at least sold) and which were not produced by Schwinn. My VIN # is 11927 which is far beyond a # 500. Does anyone have any info that would tell whether my bike is actually part of the first 500....or when it was actually produced?
I also understand that bikes produced in the earlier part of 1948 had an H engine on them and before the end of the year a J engine was being used. I have both but, I would like to use the H engine on this bike and save the J for a later project. Also, If this information is accurate, I would like to use an H engine with a lower serial number. That said, does anyone know what engine serial numbers fell into the various production months/years? Thanks!
