Finally riding a big boys bike
Picked this up on marketplace for $40. Might be 1940 according to the serial number. Horn works, light doesn't. Also why is D. P. Harris known as Snyder?

I've ridden it up and down the street a few times and the tires have held up. Am I lucky and should get new tires or ride till they fail? Cheng Shin nylon tyres.
 
I noticed a bracket as part of the front fender for the truss rods. You can see it in the picture. I've never seen this before. Is it special?

Not special but specific to Snyder, I guess around 1940 the brass read the riot act to the serial stamping dept to clean up their act!
 
Not sure when Snyder-Rollfast began to use 1/2” pitch chain; if original, it might be one of the first, unless a leftover pre-war frame.
White-wall tires could be 10-20 years old, may be replaced when their looks degrade.
