Newly restored 1938 swedish Crescent

[andybee75]

Hi guys, yesterday I finished the restoration of a quite rare bike, a 1938 Crescent with optional stainless steel fenders and rims AND optional 192 other parts in stainless steel. In fact, all shiny parts except for hubs and chain wheel are made of 304 stainless steel. Never seen this combined under my 25 years of bicycle collecting. The paint was too far gone to be saved, so I have repainted it in original colors and correct decals and of course new chrome. The lamp and dynamo are from 1938, new in box, and it also has the correct NOS chain and NOS tyres. Done my best to get it close to original as possible. Hope you like it!

Wow and WOW!! I helped a friend resto-furbish
a Swedish 1941 King. Exceptionally high quality bike. Doubt the oil lamp was original, but it looks pretty cool!
