that (L) shouldnt be there,id double check.
Assuming it is not an L its likely a 1960 heres the breakdown but theres no way to know for sure until you confirm the serial number.

if there is one less digit it backs up to 1953 so check on that L,its likely a one or something.

I think you have a Starlet chainguard. The rest of the bike I'm not so sure about. 8) Here's the Starlet I did for my wife. She's rode it twice in 15 yrs. :roll: Gary
