Hi peeps.

So here is one on my latest rides. This is my oldest. As far as I can tell, it is late '20"s.

Does anyone or can anyone provide any additional information?

Thanks,
hs

OOh, niiiice! AF was a Snyder badge, but also used by Schwinn and Emblem.

Wow! Great bike. Wish I could come across one that clean and complete. Love it!

Your bike is purty, mister! Did you score that in the OC? Nice!

No, I actually got it in El Segundo. Cool guy. He knew what he had, but was just getting into the hobby. Nonetheless, I think I scored a nice ride. I replaced the tires to make it ridable. I tell you this thing is a dog to pedal. I work up a sweat!! I don't know what the deal is. I made sure all was lubed and greased and and no bindings, but still a monster to pedal.

Here is a pic of it when I picked it up. Whomever he got the bike from was starting to restore the tank. Looks horrible next to the original patina of the bike. I'm in the process of trying to age the tank now.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments.

Regards!

Cant wait to see what the tank looks like when its done. You'll have to let us know your method.
