Glider Motobike

[oldy57]

Last night I was able to purchase this very nice original Glider Motobike in the rare large frame. They were sold by the T Eaton Co. I can't say the exact year but it would be early 1930's. It has verynice original paint with red scallops and gold pinstripes. It came with a nice 1940 Winnipeg license. The seat bag is rough so it won't go back on it. The seat was a rare Wrights long spring. The leather is poor and held on by tape. I swapped it for another Wrights Olympic in great shape. I gave it a pair of pre war grips. The basket had to go. I also had a nickel plated bell, pump and an old lamp. I will clean it up this winter, taking everything apart to polish.

The wheels are 28" 622's. The front is a very old Dunlop. I may have a matching spare Dunlop lying around. I had this Glider for 10 or so years, sold it to a friend who didn't want the saddle. Same era Glider.
