Sold 1934 Zenith Men's

[rustyspoke66]

This is a 1934 Zenith bicycle in very good condition. All bearings have been ultrasonically cleaned and re-greased. the Carlisle Lightning Dart tires have very little use on them, might even be NOS. This appears to be original to Spokane, WA. as the Havermale JR High tag is still on the top tube. Havermale was built around 1924. Also has its SBL tag on the back. With all of that and the fact that it has the California bars on it makes it out to be a original Spokane bike. The California bars were installed on most all bikes sold by Spokane Bicycle and Toy back in the day. I would assume that the Marshal Wells hardware store this would have came from put the bars on to get the sale. 350.00 plus shipping.

Nice bike.
Looks like the less-common taller 20" frame Snyder-built motorbike.

The earlier 1927 Marshall-Wells ads showed the 28” wheel version, with a forged fork crown; the triple-plate 26” forks look original to this bike.

If I hadn't just bought another bike this would be mine.

Would this bike have taken a 28" wheel?

The fork is original and yes in 34 most manufacturers were playing catch-up and swapping out the 28" fork for a 26". They also swapped out the fenders and added spacers on the rear fender. Fun stuff!
