Building the bike that never was... a 1930s' Art Deco, streamlined, ladies CCM Flyte.

I'd make a chainguard shaped like this:

That upper chainguard was mostly used mid 20-34. By 1935 Schwinn were using their own. So I imagine other companies like CCM would have had an in-house Design by then also. Something between a later in and that early universal design.
While you work on it, if you are modifying one make sure to have the sprocket you will be using in there.
Also note ladies sprockets we a different tooth number than men’s.

I would fabricate a guard like this. This is about the sexiest guard ever.

Now that has some real potential... I HAVE a full British chain guard I bought years ago that I could cut down.... Maybe a little more meat over the chain around the chain wheel but I do like the overall concept of following right around the chain is a delicate manor.... very interesting!

The best I can come up with now is the top chain guard pictures modified to the basic shape of the second one pictured.... Anyone got one of those top ones they would part with? What are they even from??? Thoughts?

I saw a post on here recently where someone had like 5 of those top guards for sale. I'll look for it. That silver one looks pretty cool too.
