prewar canti bike. bought it from the original owners son. a little rustier/ more beat than I hoped but I'm pretty stoked. seller was a great guy, I love the color. darts, pinstripes an the downtube are all REALLY nice.

wheels are rotted out toast. reminds me of an old car that was parked over dirt for 30 years. dang moisture!

pulled the crank and cut the hubs out of the rust tonight. pedals were not original, one had wood blocks.

crank is dated '37. serial number is X77273.

what do you guys think on year? 38 would start with an A? it looks like it may have had a tank at one time. it also has the little bumper on the frame that I thought was 39 and 40? of course that may have been added.

Serial is 38

If you decide to part with the bike let me know, I'd try and step up and offer what it should be worth.
