Thats a nice one. Like the color combo.

super nice score. w/ the tangs for the drop stand(missing) and the curved seat post it's probably 1941.

Very cool. What's your plans for the bike?

Give it a thorough cleaning and replace some of the missing parts. Make it somewhat new again without restoring it.
