Look Ma, No Hands!
Hello i'm Jack from The Netherlands.
For my 50th birthday, i've got this bike from a friend of mine.

I've been asking around, about which year this bike could have been fabricated.
The most given answer was early 50's, i hope this is correct.

After googling a lot, i decided to restore it as a colorflow.

This are the first parts i bought for the bike.
They arrived a few weeks ago.

After I straightened out some parts
And made the parts fit the bike, it now looks this way.

The bike has peaked fenders which i would like to keep.
But they do have a lot of dings and are bent a lot.
I do have a deep rear fender as you can see on the parts picture.
So maybe i do switch to the deep fenders.
There are more parts coming from the U.S.
Will post more when they are over-here.
 
Welcome!

Have put on the deep rear fender.
I like this much more than the peaked fenders.
It's for sure now, i'll go for the deep fenders.
Now it will take a while before the other parts arrive.

It took a while longer than expected.
But finally the parts i've bought in the US, arrived last Saturday.

The deep frontfender with brackets, claxon, repo stimsonite #15 reflector, rack Jewels and decals.

The rearrack with bracket.

Immediately fitted the parts to the bike, to see them on the bike.
Streched a rope to align the brackets and the chainguard.

Mounted a straight seatpost.

I don't like the seatpost placed forward, because the seat comes to close to the handlebar.
I've turned the seatpost backwards, but that looked strange to me.
And that way the seat comes far above the rearrack.
I think the straight seatpost is the best option for me.
