So I may be counting this one pror to hatching but I am Going to pick this one up in the morning. Seems like I read that chrome was an option on some of these springers. But would it have had the bolt in the back or straight thru the forks? What do you think, this one look like it might be original equipment? The stem looks wrong and the tires. But everything else looks pretty good to me.
**got it/ Looks like a semi equipped model with a donor headset and fork. Stem and headset look like JC Higgins parts to me. The fenders look like they once took truss rods and a delta torpedo maybe? I thought for sure that someone had thrown on some chinese knobby white whats in an effort to 'restore' it but I was surprised to see they are AWESOME condition Carlisle's! Knobby is not my first choice I was going to put some grand tycoons on it (pictured) but I cant decide. I lost my love for white walls but on the other hand they are nice old tires and I am VERY lazy... The springer is a mystery part to me. Anyone recognize the steering tube base?
