Here is my patina bike & another " on deck " ( just picked up some rims for the project yesterday , some white pinstriped s-2's 8) . I got the twin straightbar this past december )
I think it's a '46--serial # is i74677. Post-war, pre-fire.
I rode it just like this for years until I took it apart a couple of weeks ago. Switched between it & a single speed Collegiate for the last 4 years. Great looking bikes in this thread--I am humbled.
