She cleaned up well

[bikesntrikes]

First sunny weekend after a few weeks of rain brought me out of the house to clean up and work on my wife's bike.

Before:

After:

Simple Green'ed the frame, wheels and fenders. Scrubbed the hubs to a shiny finish. Changed out the original tires/tubes with some fresh whitewalls and new tubes. Also, changed out the black seat for a used blue "S" seat. Still need to lube the rear hub, add a new removable wicker basket, clean up the sprocket and handlebars. Didn't have enough time to finish before the sun started to set.

Looks to be a late 1961 model. 1961/09/16 ------------------ J137247 ------------------- J138924

Thanks for looking.
