1951 52? Husqvarna

[prewarmachine]

Picked this up a few months ago. Finally got it all deep cleaned, straightened and re-greased. Rear Novo hub stamped 51 12. Rides amazing. If anyone has info on these I'd like to know more, hard to find much about it. Tool box repair is next on the list.

Is it a Swedish company?

Yup, she's a Swede

Is it a Swedish company?

Yes, like over 330 yrs old! They have made several things throughout from swords, bikes, motorcycles, sewing machines and outdoor lawn equipment.

Looks like you have a model 502. Love the 1960's Husky MX motorcycles.

These bikes are wonderful to ride, especially the ones built after 1945. Have a lot Husqvarna bikes from 1902-58. Here are some of the ones from the 40'ies and 50'ies. Also got a 1951 in unrestored mint condition: http://www.veterancykel.se/Husqvarna-1951-herr/mobile/

Yes, really nice, especially the transparent ones. The purple, which is now somewhat faded, was incredibly bright and in your face when new. The color was only available 1951-52, it must have taken some guts to choose that color in those days, especially on a gents bike!
