So I picked this up from a friend who
had lost interest in his restoration of it. I am a novice collector in the sport now about 5 years with about 20 vintage 1950's orignal paint bikes (mostly Schwinn). I have never had one this old and usually only buy stuff orignal condition. So thats my background. What the seller told me was he powder coated the frame and forks, nikeled everything else. He had the big nut for the cranks machined new since he did not have one (see pic). The sproket has a slight bend in it and rubs the frame with one tooth when spinning very lightly. And he got a seat post stuck in it, I have not tried to remove it yet. He actually restored a set of 26 inch wheels to put on it and then realized the cranks he had just had nikel plated were to long then. He believes it to be a 28 inch wheel bike from the 1930's but really had no idea. I am putting a pic of the 4 digit seriel number and maybe someone could help
