New Mexico Brant
Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Wow, time really flies! Two and a half years have gone by since I originally got this bicycle from Brady @Clark58mx. A big thanks to all the folks who have helped along the way with parts and assistance: @npence , @John , @TWBikesnstripes , @kccomet , and a couple others who I am missing.
The Firestone Supreme did not have a tank when I bought it (the Zephyr currently mounted is an original paint 1940 model). I am still on the look out for an original opalescent maroon tank if anyone has one. Also, bike's fenders are original; unfortunately, a previous owner blasted them with a torch to prep for overpaint; only traces of the original maroon is still present. I would be interested in a pair in that color as well! I have a Wald rear book-strap rack in black but would be love to replace it with one in the correct paint.
There are still a few patina matching tweaks I would like to make over time; anyone out there have any old fender letters with patina? The NOS Persons 331 rear reflector has to go as soon as an adequate aged/used replacement is found.
