~~Help with Hermes / Swedish bike~~

[okozzy]

This is a Swedish bicycle, trying to pinpoint the year; serial number is 495833
I'm sure not very collectible, but still a cool old bike... loving that front fender.

Love that quik release system they use on that rear wheel.

What hub is on the rear? Many bikes like this had Sachs or rebranded sachs hubs with a date code stamp

Hey Scott,
You're right, the rear hub is a Torpedo hub with what I believe is a 1931 date on it.
