Finally riding a big boys bike
What do you think on price? Obviously sitting outside since flat spot on tires and a bit of rust on each rim in same location. Has war grade tires, blackout new departure front rear hubs, blackout bars and chainring etc. rust on frame and bars, not too bad.

Might be a 24”, I’d still ride it even though I’m tall though ha. I did end up bringing it home. I’ll have to clean up the rust a bit and throw some new tires on it and go from there.

Any idea on year?

I'm not an expert but looking at the rear dropout may be post war . Real nice bike. I really like the military bike on the background.
 
That was over in Collinsville. I saw it last weekend. Looks like a WW2 era Manton Smith lightweight. I once owned a red one and stopped when I saw that over at the Collinsville antique market. It was a good price for a nice bike. It looked to me like 26 x 1.375 wheels and the Manton-style slack angle frame. They have some very lazy, somewhat peculiar handling when you ride them. But I was there for an old office lamp and not a bike. I think you made a good call to buy it.
