I was totally surprised to find this at a yard sale. Especially since I got an hour late start this morning. It all appears to be there. The only problem I can find is the headbadge is beat up and loose.
Serial number L934904 dates it as Nov 12, 1959.
More pics to follow.

Looks like it's missing the tank, front and rear racks, but I think it has everything else.

You need a headlight and a rear reflector in the chrome housing. Gary

This is a sweet ride. I removed the Wald basket, added two nuts to the seat, put a little more air in the tires and went for a ride. Tweeked the shifter 1 full turn to get all three gears. This bike rides like a dream.

All that's left to do is polish it up just a little (no rust anywhere) and attach the headbadge a little better. Then she'll be ready to sell.

This is one sweet bike. It will be going up for sale soon.
