Did you sell the bike? S 2 wheels? Where are you in OR.?

This bike would have S7 wheels.

Yep, and a newbie selling. No picture of the chain guard either. No American in 1959 so it has to be a 1960 model with the large head badge. Fork detail is a V and not a dart, stem is hidden so can't say if that's a Speedster or not but this bike doesn't have the American wrap around seat post decal. Price is fair no matter what model it is.

Eugene. It’s my father’s bike and he doesn’t ride anymore. I have more pictures if you need. Thanks,

A full on photo of the right side of the bicycle is what you should post anytime you are selling a bike.

I am sorry your Dad can't ride his bike anymore - I am sure someone here will be glad to give it a good home.

Thank you. He’s 88 now. I will take another picture from the right. We were unable to find the serial number. Let me know if you have a location it would be on that model.

Serial number will be on the left rear dropout. Good luck!

They said 10:00 am Saturday would work if you would like to see the bike. Let me know if that will work and I can give you the address and phone #. Thanks again.
