[Bike from the Dead]

I’d be interested to see the serial number on the Huffman. It appears post war to me.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the serial number as it is. I'll have to wait until I strip the paint to know for sure.

I don't think I posted this. I won it in an on line auction while on a train in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada end of January. It was located north of Toronto. Vancouver ( west coast) and Toronto. ( on route to east coast) each locale are 1000+ miles from my place in Winnipeg ( middle of Canada). Now the geography lesson is over, here it is.

1964 Honda C100 ( 49cc) SUPER CUB step through scooter. Appears to have only 1777 miles on it, but the carb is flooding and outside of my skill level, so is with a shop."December 17, 2002—Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has announced that total production of its Super Cub has reached 35 million units in the 44 years and three months since it first went on sale in August 1958."

Almost impossible to find anyone who knows how to work on a Keihin Japan carb/downdraft/vintage these days, me being one who doesn't. Wait until I need my tri-power

The alternative was an Asian repro carburetor that "usually" works. I prefer stock, so in a few weeks, I'll know if it's going to be stock or bogus. Still snow and ice here, so mot missing any riding time.

Maybe some on on the Bobistheoilguy forum could help.

I'm finally getting some work done on my Elgin 4-Star Deluxe. Looks like it was originally a blue bike. I plan on doing the minimum to preserve the history of the bike. I need a front finned hub if anyone has one for sale. Thanks!

Also, getting some work done on my electric bike. Forks are custom, components are GarBaruk and Hopetech. These are being fitted to a 1983 RedLine-Tange frame

I keep saying I need to get off FB Marketplace but then little treasures keep popping up. This was listed a month ago but the guy was nice enough to drop it off today from an hour or two north of here.

Not sure exactly was it is other than rad and full of Campy down to the dropouts. I thought Windsor was a Canadian brand. Times like these @juvela is sorely missed. Was very pleased to see it’ll fit me, plan is to lace up some clinchers and ride it. Then do a full tear down and clean up next winter.

Windsor was a Mexican Brand.

Windsor was a brand made for and specified by Howie Cohen and West Coast Cycle. I still have my Carrera Sport that I bought new in 1976. The frames were copies of Cinelli frames. They had very nice chrome lugs and decent components. The Professional that you have has the Eddie Merckx decal. He was sponsored in 1972 by Acer-Mex and Windsor in a world record attempt. He did it on a Colnago with Windsor decals. Huge scandal at the time. You have a nice bike that is worth restoring if you keep it original. The decals are NLA.

@Dan Mahoney thanks for the information! Yes absolutely, it will be kept original. I did lace up some clincher rims to the original spokes and hubs though. I'll update here with some progress pics.
