Should I buy it?.

[Antknee]

Found this in a local store front window i'm definitely going back there monday to see if i can get them to part with it. although getting rid of all that pink paint looks like a PIA to me. might be worth it

any one care to take a stab at what this is?

I know it's a skip tooth.....

Looks like a Huffman to me, the fork and chainring are what makes me the so.

Looks like a lot f correct parts too.

I'd love to have it.......and a LOT of paint stripper......

Cheers,

Dozens of old girls bikes available to paint pink and they choose a classic boys bike to do. :roll: At least they didn't put it out in the yard for "yard art" so the birds would have a place to perch. I think it would be worth the effort to restore that one. Go for it! Gary

any Ideas about the age or year that bike might be.?

I would offer to replace it too (cheep gutter bike painted to match) they may be willing to do better on the price knowing their display won't change.

39 or a 41 in 40 they had a welded on kickstand.

Look at the brace on the rear seat stays where the fender attaches. I thought prewar had a straight brace. This is curved. I'm guessing later 40s.

I think I spy a postwar seatpost clamp, leaving 46-47 as likely.

She definitely wants a replacement bike. but She is still balking at the price, is $50 too much for this bike?
