Need help!

[Ridin' my Schween]

So I am needing some help before poppin’ on this as it seems to be quite an investment. This is posted in the local Craigslist. Pretty certain not 1945 but as far as originality and completeness is it worth it? Thanks for your help!

That looks like a 1958 with that beautiful $100+ seat and that style tank decal. Shifter and cables not original, missing horn unit?, not all rusted up, some paint issues but it looks like it's all there except for a few spokes in the front wheel. I've seen these sell for that kind of money quite often. It's been for sale for a while so maybe shoot them an offer.

Think its a bit high. Would look at $350 or $400. Looks pretty nice though.

You know what they say in real estate, location location location. lol The parts will fetch over 500 with that one year only premo Mesinger leading the way. But yah, shoot an offer for less and see what happens.

Nice bike ! Don’t see those often.. Rare original grips..
Correct rear rack with stop light, early bow pedals. Light..
Aluminum Mayweg front rack, stainless fenders.. Can’t go wrong there..

If anyone questions the dual hinged Mayweg front carrier on this piece that's normally associated to the new 1959 models, it is correct for the later built 1958's.

Thanks for the feedback! I was worried about the front wheel replacement. Most likely some type of collision and hopefully didn’t damage anything important!

The original Jag was a ballooner introduced in '54, continued in '55. The Mark II comes out in '57.
