Show us your Manton Smith!

Here's one I've had for a long time, but it's been in pieces. Came from Frank Bakers collection...RIP...purchased from his widow. Must have been one of his last unfinished restorations as it was not fully assembled. Fast forward many years later I have finally finished.

Absolutely beautiful. Here's a picture from awhile ago after I picked up the tank from you. Bike is original paint. The tank is currently off to repair the missing inside mounting strap. And will be painted to match this winter. Still searching for the tank decal.

The first one is not prewar( sorry). It's a 52 badged as Mead Ranger. The second one is a bike my friend picked up on Friday. It's badged as Nonpariel St. Louis. I believe it's from 40 or so.

It is 29º this morning and I am taking pictures of bikes, my neighbors think I am totally normal. Really like how these Manton's ride. I think the best locking fork also. Here is my '38 ladies Gold Eagle, '41ish Nonpareil, '50ish Mead Ranger and Mens Gold Eagle with springer.

I've always thought that the Manton and Smith just amounted to a really cool tank decal.
Man, was I wrong!
What a beautiful bike!
That rack is about the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Super nice bike, Scott.

Before and After shots of my latest resto. The wavy chainguard was a challenge to say the least. Very comfy bikes. The aircraft welds are the signature feature on most of these machines. They took pride in their welds and it shows.
