Here's one I found on Craigslist last year. I know it's prewar but I don't know what year or model. Anyone have any guesses? As far as I can make out the frame number is 48420. I can't make out the smaller number underneath it. The guy I bought it from said most of it was correct for the frame but some of the parts I know are probably not. It has a Morrow rear hub. All the finishes are pretty nice. He was powder coating everything Caltrans orange which looks kind of cool. There is a stem broken off in the forks which I will try to remove at some point. I put the BMX stem in over it just so I could ride it a little. I know he sourced the chain guard and fenders separately and I don't know if they go with this frame. Pics of fenders are before and after Oxalic bath.
Built a new wheel set for the Colson lwb straight bar. Johns Royal Chains, NOS chrome drop centers, NOS Torrington spokes with black nipples, Colson specific hourglass hub up front and a 2 speed SA Duomatic in the rear using an Ichibike 11T cog. Gives me slightly less than 1:1 in first gear and a nice overdrive in 2nd. So far pretty stoked with the setup.
