Barn sale find

[tinworth]

I went to a barn sale yesterday, unfortunately I missed all the mens bikes but I found this for my wife. I haven't found any markings on it and it going to need some love but I think it'll be a cool looking village cruiser. Anyone have an idea of what it is? The seat has a Dunlop logo on it.

Looks like a Lady's CCM bike from late 30's-40's with some parts changed on it. could also be an eatons glider I had one before, the forks might be from a glider, I think the crank is wrong too.

I'm probaly going to go back this afternoon and pick up another bike for parts, the forks are bent and the rear wheel is seized. But for $35 and hopefully $20 for a parts bike I think I did ok

Take more pictures of them. like head tube, i'd say that price was to high but you did get a nice seat. if alot of these older 28" wheeled bikes offten had broken spokes and what not so your gonna need spare parts if they are, or you can go with 700c rims

I'd be curious to see if the fork is a bit of a hack job with a broken weld in the steer tube. Definitely a cool looking bike, look forward to seeing how it turns out!

Actualy with our canadian bikes some of them had huge head tubes that where very long, made replacement forks hard to come by lol
