Shelby Traveler

Postby jmillhollen on Fri Jun 29, 2012 6:27 pm

I found this on CL. The ad was for "1927 Sebring Bicycle", no pictures. I do some looking online and find nothing for "Sebring". So I ask for some photos and they peaked my intrest and I went to pick it up tonight. Enjoy.

He put a new front rim on just for a test ride and through that in too.

Blurry headbadge.

Stewart Warner speedo and fender light carcass.

Love the tail reflector.

I think this may be missing a tank or this could be a home repair?

I haven't checked the serial yet but I don't think its a "27". If you have any input please let me know. Thanks for looking!

That's pretty sweat! Love the toasted marshmellow paint job:) Fender braces are my favorite part, nice design.

Really neat looking bike. So what's the plan with it, rat bike? Custom or restore to minty new. I think it would be great any which way.
Is the fork bent back?

I still can't get over how much it looks like a toasted marshmellow or that it was made from some sort of foam...

That sucker was run into a wall or something. Hopefully you can get the forks pulled out, because I don't think you can recreate that patina.

Lots of great curves going on there! Is there a fender brace missing off the front fender? Fantastic Score! Robert
