Krakatoa
Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Shelby Supreme N serial number pre war bicycle. Once this was a fancy tank model. Primary original color appears to have been blue or black looking at the frame joins under the bottom bracket. Using my fingernail to scratch the hauspaint it seems to have chrome fenders! These are the blunt or baloney cut style and have good flat braces. Conduit grommet and hole on front fender. Good guard, not sure if it is chrome at this time. Correct og crank & chain ring. The bike needs a full tear down and overhaul but has good bones. Top truss plate upside down at time of pictures now rectified. Truss and fork in good condition. A correct lower truss plate missing in pictures will be included. Frame is straight but has 1" shallow dent to lower downtube. Rear dropouts need some attention but not too terrible. ND W front hub, Bendix rear looks replaced. An ND D rear coaster core unit complete will be included not pictured. Shelby style correct drop centers. Rear has missing and loose spokes and is out of true, front has loose spokes but is otherwise OK. 26" w Torrington bars have dent in lower tube underneath near Rollfast? stem. A good WALD 3 can be substitued if wanted. Seat and post not og. No pedals.
Bicycle is being worked on and improved.
