This bike went from someone’s barn to my shed about 20 years ago and I just pulled it out for some photos.
Rode hard and poor storage resulted in the condition of this Lime J39 Deluxe.
The lime bikes get creepy rust very easy and this ‘64 has plenty.
This April 15, 1964 would have looked killer with the leopard solo polo seat and reverse screen chain guard in nice condition.
Correct dated fork (4-4), early top bearing head set, non-crimp strut and it’s early wide bars.
Not uncommon is the reflector aluminum backside being pulled off the steel mounting stud.
Now I need to find a wall.
