I live for the CABE
Would love to know who made it.
Front tire actually holds air. Rear, is wobbly and doesn't hold air. Tires aren't that bad. A little dry rot cracking on the edges, but plenty of tread on them. Seat is in amazing shape, but does need a nut in the back. Paint should come out really nice as seen by the photo of the serial number. Stencils were painted on top of the blue paint and look to be dried out and slowly cracking away. Handlebar is a little out of whack, but it can be straightened. Stem is nothing special. Fenders are a little beat up in the back, but fixable. Looks to have had a hanging tank on it at one point, and the drop stand is no longer there. With my shoulder issues, it will be a slow clean up, but she should come out really nice. Will probably be looking for a drop stand and hanging tank in the near future to complete it.
I'm just outside of Philly and this was sold at a Philadelphia Sporting Goods store, so it's staying with me for a while.
Questions...
Who made it?
Estimate on the year?
How do I clean the wood clad wheels?
Skip tooth chain has a nut on the master link? Is this odd?
Should I wax the stencils and leave them be, or touch them up, let it dry, then wax the stencils?
Serial number looks like V37989
