[handyandy1100]

'49 new frame in which the intermediate bar meets the top bar at the seat tube. Supposedly allows kids to move up to a big 26" bike at a younger age

Foam fill tires?

Well I can’t keep them all. This one found a new home today through Facebook Marketplace. Though it would worthy of flipping at a spring swap meet but they didn’t happen. So Marketplace and Messenger sealed the deal. That frees up the space of about two bikes due to its bulk. The new owner left happy and I have some stash cash, life is good.

You didn’t happen to keep that red crown valve stem cap, did ya? I’ve been looking for a match to the one that I have.

Sorry, I let them go.

I thought curved rear fender brace was after 1946 or something, I didn't zoom into the back of your fork. Is it stamped?
