1941 Mercury Pacemaker Deluxe

[Ricker]

1941 Mercury Pacemaker Deluxe w/2 speed & floating hubs. Original decals still present on head shroud. I have not cleaned up the fenders yet and the correct drop stand clip needs to be repaired (photo of green parts). It is complete except for the fender ornament. Seat is recovered and the tires are the NICE ones! Grips are old repros with the correct profile and name on them. It has a new departure 2 speed hub and a floating front hub. I keep the original lenses inside the tank since they are fragile. There is a photo of them and I have not cleaned them. Shipping will be actual cost, no addition fees. I have more photos and can take more photos of specific things if you would like.

This is a nice original paint bike that I think represents the best of pre-war art deco with its speed lines and subtle curved frame. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Rick

Just curious did someone try to roll that front fender?

I honestly don't know- it doesn’t look like it, it looks too flat to me. If it were more rounded it would follow the wheel better

It has the wrong fender stay. It’s the earlier flat style. It’s too short and pulling it in at the bottom. Hence it’s mild erection. If you look close you can see the screw heads for fender rivets.

The fender stays are original to the fenders as far as I know and not flat. There is a slight curve on the outer surface. The front fender looks to be too flat, if it had more curve to match the fork crown it would follow the tire better.

I believe both front and rear braces have been replaced. You can clearly see the screw heads instead of fender rivets and these are the flat, earlier style braces. Here are the pics of correct braces from my two ‘41s. One is restored and one is original.

For everyone out there - correct fender braces with complete dropstand clip in tact- now complete other than fender ornament!
