Gorgeous Patina Fleetwing

[Rotten_Spokes]

Picked up on the way home from getting an old porch glider. Very pretty orange/red patina the pictures don't do it justice too bad it's missing the front fender.

That's a fine condition to find a bike that'll come back to life with ease, even the seat looks to be really clean. Lucky Score!

Looking at the Shockmaster Fork I see it's a 1950s bike which means there will be a suffix at the end of the serial number. It will give you a better idea exactly what year Cleveland Welding produced this bicycle. Examples of a suffix - ACW, AC and Cw52. The small w will be inside the mouth of the large C followed by the last two digits of the year it was made. Take some lacquer thinner and rub off as much paint as possible - if the stamps are light you might damage it by scraping with a sharp metal object. Nice Find and Have Fun!
