Krakatoa
Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Very early 1st year of production low Z4664 serial number offset bottom bracket type 1936 model year bike. I don't think the scholarship is yet complete on these earliest bikes with X and. Z serial numbers.
I purchased this a number of years ago as an incomplete but promising project and it now needs a new owner who wants to take it to the next level.
There has been some speculation that the paint is possibly original but I cannot say that for sure. This has never been explored publicly because I haven't posted about the bike. As you can see there is a shadow of the Master Weld decal over the darts on the seat tube which are also present on the fenders and truss fork. If in fact this is very early paint scheme it would be the only one of its type as yet to surface.
What you see are all the parts that I could be reasonably sure were original to the bike. The wheel set is rough. The rear fender brace is half missing and the front fender has some rot at the tip. I probably have some spares like the correct crank etc if needed. The tank is excellent with no rot and will respond well to some finesse. The amazing Pilot badge was purchased from our fearless leader here for a princely sum a number of years ago as well.
SOLD thank you Cabe!
