Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
another Craigslist find. pretty happy with this one, though a bit more paint would have been nice. no pins or decals left on the original paint, the guy I bought it from said you could still see "the World" decals when he bought it 10 years ago. I think he may have left it outside as the Brooks seat is only 10 years old, he was saying they made this seat starting in 1937 so the style fits the era, and it is so warped it looks like it came with the bike new.
blackout hubs, Lobdell rims with pinstripes still visible. it came with a matching front fender but no braces. he said when he got it it has BF Goodrich WAR tires on it, but they were toast. has some Kenda's on it now. as an added bonus he gave me 4 Kenda Schwinn size tires in the deal. good rider though the rear hub needs some help as the brakes are very poor. Wald basket is going away. I have a 1950 girls bike I may put it on.
just bought a B6 last week, along with 2 frames, and a 41 Girls bike a week before that and convinced myself I was not buying this one, but then caved in and did it. I'm going to remove the basket, grease things up, possibly buy two fenders for it I saw here, rob the kickstand from my 41 Girls bike and ride.
I don't have the serial # handy.
