Look Ma, No Hands!
Hello Experts,
I have been in the bike industry most all my life my my area of expertise is more in the 70's/80's/90's.
Looking for some guidance on year/make/model.
This red lady was given to me by a friend with the promise that I would never sell it and always take good care of her.
He acquired it as payment for a auto repair and kept it in a dark basement for the last 25 years.
Unfortunately it is missing the headbadge (drilled/tapped @ 3-9 o'clock) so that adds to the mystery of what the heck it is for me.
New Departure f/r fixed hubs, through axle front fork tips, Banner pedals and most all of the chrome is in great shape.
Leather saddle has a wooden/steel frame and it is in seeming good shape.
Rear wooden rim have a small crack at the joint/eyelet area. Wooden handlebar is in great shape.
The rear fender I was told was made by a former owner in the late 1960's.
My plan is to display it for a while in a Seattle area bike shop then donate it to a museum under the person's name who gave her to me.
If you need more detailed images please let me know. Coming from a frame shop background I appreciate the fork crown.
Thank you for your time, Chad
