I live for the CABE
Found this bike at an antique shop and couldn’t pass it up for the price. I checked the serial # and puts it built on Nov. 25, 1958. I tried to look up the 1958 catalog online but it just doesn’t seem to exist? I looked at the 57 and 59 catalogs and it appears to be a 26” Wasp. The paint is like new except for the chips caused by what appears to be damage done with a pipe or some metal object causing the small dents and the enamel to chip. The chain guard looks incorrect for the Wasp but has the matching color but no decals so that’s weird. The chrome has some rust spots here and there but will clean up ok. The rims are also painted and the rear Typhoon tire is shot but the front one actually looks pretty decent. The Bendix hub is working properly and has a red line around it. The seat may not be correct but is extremely comfortable . Now I ask you guys if I did ok with this bike, the good and the bad?
