Yep! He was telling me about this pre-WWII Schwinn track bike that he got in high school for about $30, I think it was maybe a Continental? He said it was kind of a mid-level thing, which he eventually traded or sold for a '50s or '60s Bianchi, which a bunch of the parts are likely from. The Schwinn also got a Sturmey-Archer 3-speed hub at some point, and he did some pretty long rides in NY/NJ on that setup.
