Look Ma, No Hands!
I recently came upon a bunch of bikes that were being sold and saw this old cycle truck and snatched it up. I haven't built a bike in a while but after getting this one I have the bug again. The paint looks original, as do the wheels, and crankset. Missing a bit too though. So the fun part will be trying to find the missing pieces and get it back to original. It's had a tough life as you can see from the bent up basket and forks but it should be a fun winter project!

One issue I had was the sprocket teeth were really worn. They were worn so much that the chain just slid off when I turned the pedals. Probably due to a chain that was really loose.

Also, when I was cleaning and rebuilding the front hub I found several of the ball bearings missing and the cage that they were in was broken apart. So I bought some NOS front bearings and a used sprocket. The serial number indicates the bike is a '61 and crank is stamped with 60 so that seems right. Crank arm has CT stamped on it, kinda interesting.
