What Rat-Bike did you ride today?

[Demzie]

And? Howz it ride?

Like a tank, gliding across a butter glazed glacier just starting to melt under summer sun.
No creaking or rattle and her voice is subtle but such a delight to hear in her old horn.

Oh, you Do... ? Shame. Must have been cream and red initially. fortunately I still need one!

Yeah, I can't find any ads for the Chippewa as fully as the Super. I have this one and these:

Beyond these, I can't find a thing on this bike with specs. I'd like to find someone with the complete parts list rundown on the Super just to have an idea better what all was on this stock for tires, tubes, options.
I'm thinking the Green and Black was a pro redo,. But I've also seen some Halloween feeling bikes coming out the woodwork in Prewar condition and age.
There are a couple prewar Cleveland I've seen in Green and black, including a Supreme here in a few posts but for Clevelands, I wish I knew. An all Green, Black and Chrome model would spin!

But at least in that second ad, it shows one in Blue.

Holy Wow, That's NOS alright. Couldn't be more crisp!!

I wonder if maybe they were sold as additions on their own as well as being stock issue,. Like Delta Winners.
