Dayton super streamliner

[Freqman1]

We saw that picture here a few years ago but can’t find the thread. If memory recalls I thought the bike was in New Orleans but could be mistaken. Based on your first post I thought this was a done deal. If for some reason it doesn’t work out I’d be interested. Thanks, Shawn

Yeah, it’s hard to tell from that picture, but the fenders may be incorrect for that model.
It looks like it has the deep McCauley type that was used on the Fleetwood Supremes, which is fairly typical when one of these bikes is parted together.
As far as I know, the Super Streamline model never used that fender profile.
It used a slimmer peaked type gothic profile fender.
The good news is, they optioned an Aluminum or Stainless fender in that gothic profile, so no need to try and find the near impossible matching original paint/patina.
The bad news is, those probably won’t be much easier to find.
But, at least when you do, you won’t have to worry about the color match.
Chrome/Aluminum fenders would probably look pretty good, since the nine hole rack is chrome.
It’s hard to tell what’s what, from that picture, so don’t take anything we say as gospel, but once you get it, we’ll try and help as much as we can.
@John in San Diego is a good source of knowledge on these model bikes.
Don’t be shy, and reach out to him when you get a chance.
Thanks for sharing your prospect with us.
It’s always exciting when another one of these bikes pops up.

I doubt I will ,try to go crazy and spend a bunch of money trying to find the correct aluminum fenders , and the other stuff .

Congratulations Walter; fyi: this would not have come with aluminum fenders as a stock bike.

 

[cyclingday]

They did offer them as an option.

Since your bike already has the chrome rack, this absolutely fabulous original bike would be a good one to emulate.

A set of the optioned gothic aluminum fenders would eclipse a set of faux painted steel fenders in an originality contest.
Of course the difference being, that your bike has it original color matched painted tank.

I’d like to know how that one is badged? The tank appears to have a Huffman level paint scheme. Would also like to see the serial number when you get a chance. V/r Shawn

Hi, it is the bike mentioned in New Orleans, I am picking it up Sunday , morning . I will send the serial number as soon as I get a look , .I am not sure of the badge , I think it has an original seat that was recovered about 15 years ago . Thanks for your patience . I hope we can get a photo of the 2 together . I think I am getting a lot of original parts . I am sure the chain guard is repro. Not really sure of anything else about this bike . Thanks for your help ,Walter Branche
