I'll update this picture with a new one once I get my fenders back on.

 

[axsepul]

why the fenders? that bike looks perfect!!!

 

[axsepul]

no fenders

vs fenders

i say no fenders!!!! what you think?

 

[highwheelerboy25]

fenders!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sphinx]

Go ahead and take 'em off, but you gotta send 'em to me. No' really it looks awesome with 'em on. 8)

 

[axsepul]

it looks more complete with fenders and i do put them on if i'm going to a bike show. the rest of the time fenders come off and different rims come on with fat spokes to hold me. i hate riding with fenders plus, i'm always hitting the front one with my feet and i don't want to scratch them.

thanks for the suggestion thou!!

here's another look

I got this bike from my landlord. An older lady. It was her husbands who had passed away and she was going to get rid of it. She didnt think anyone would want it because it was so old!
Trying not to be too excited I said I would clean it up and ride it and she gave it to me! The bike was bought new with diligently saved paper route money. So Im the second owner.
Its all original as far as I know, accept it was missing a pedal. Found one that was similar but not exact. Im new to this era of bikes. From what I can figure this bike is a 52'? but I could be mistaken.
Anyway, great looking bikes all around.
Cheers

Very Nice! Take that Dear Lady to dinner.

Please don't be tempted to 'Restore' that beauty. It's perfect the way it sits. It also has a rare added bonus of having a great story of its original owner that came with it. :!:

Keep it lubed up and ride it!

I would never "restore" a bike like this! That is one thing I have learned.

 

[RowBoat]

Wow that thing is a really great find! Congratulations! That fender bird is killer too!

47 Super Deluxe...Farm auction buy in 1979. This bike was complete but missing the wheels when I bought it for $25. The ratted bike shown here is my favorite go-to rider. Fenders have original paint! I have the orig. seat, chaingaurd, handlebars, sprocket, crankset & trainlight fender housing, which are inventoried. Sturmey archer S3C hub w/coaster. Skip-tooth drivetrain, Ti. bars & carbon bar ends...Mavic 420 gram rims, db wheelsmith spokes, and Bontrager Hanks. Fast and smooth. BB hole in the rear reflector lens.. Some kid probly shot it out years ago in Minnesota...!! !
