Pre-war Comet Motobike

[Isle Ride]

Have owned this for over a year and it's really not for my collection which is mostly lightweight English-style. I acquired it from a woman who remembers it hanging in her father's garage since 1961.

1932? 28" Comet by Progressive Cycle Co. NY, NY. Number stamped on bottom bracket shell: J59775 may indicate Westfield built.
Made-in-USA "Highway Master" chain-tread tires with threaded Schrader valves. They're hard, but round as I display it with a front stand off the floor.

Clad rims with butted spokes. Beautiful Troxel leather saddle with "Troxel" imprints still visible on saddle horn. Mis-matched pedals, one grip, not sure of originality of those.

Sold!

I've shipped bikes before but I would be VERY reluctant to ship something like this.

Oh wow! Sweet bike! If I won the lotto I'd just sit at my computer and buy bikes and parts all day. This bike is so tempting!
