Cruisin' on my Bluebird
This bike was listed for sale a while back by @Notagamerguy, and I had to go to Philadelphia to pick up another bike a couple of weeks ago, so while I was there I stopped by and picked this one up too. He was thinking it might be English, and the lugs at the head look very similar to a late '50's Phillips I have, but I've been looking at some of the parts, and the front hub is Union, the rear hub is Centrix (German) and the rims are "Lepper Made in Holland". The serial number is on the left side of the seat post a couple inches below the seat lug, and it looks like there are two sheared off rivets under the paint that once held a head badge. It's been repainted and who knows what else, but if the wheels are original then it's probably European, maybe Dutch. Maybe these clues and some new pictures will jog somebody's memory.
