BA97 Ace

Started piecing this ‘41 together...had a good start with frame/fork/fenders. All metal is in good shape. I’m in need of a half inch pitch Musselman cog/driver for my rear hub. Let me know if you can help me out.

H Serial #...
Confirmed crank...good to go.

That’s all for now...

NICE bike! Was this on eBay a few years back with it's red Twin? I won the twin...was hoping
it was maroon / dark red.... so it found a new home with another collector..
nice to see the twinnie, not many 41 B models without the fender light option out there....

I vaguely remember that auction and if this bike is the twin then it went through at least one set of hands before I landed it. I picked it up as a carcass...frame/fork/fenders and a few smalls.

Made some more progress this morning...love when I find something I need and didn’t know I had such as this original cable with fork clip and non-scripted lever...sweet!

Now stalled out on the rear wheel...need a 1/2” pitch cog for a Musselman hub or go a different direction with a more weathered rear wheel with a DD that needs to be rebuilt. Hmmm.

Nice save and 'bring back' looks killer.....red bike was identical with same badge unequipped except for springer

In the home stretch...Just about there...

...and finished...love the simplicity of this bike. Truly a CABE community effort to get this bike back on the pavement. Thanks to:
@ohdeebee for the carcass + smallls
@davek for the seat (likely a pass through from @bobcycles)
@TWBikesnstripes for the T cross bars
@Autocycleplane for the wheelset
@John for the tires
@zedsn for the final piece...Musselman 1/2” pitch cog.

This bike rides so smoothly...my new fav for sure!
