To start, I know nothing about this bike. I initially bought it with the sole intention of parting it out. Nice reflectors, finned fat torpedo light, nice saddle, unique frame, it was tempting. I had never seen another bike with this same look so I assumed it was a bit of a frankenbike. As it turns out this bike is original and in its original paint. I'll have to build a wheelset for it and have the seat repaired (the cover is just sitting on the pan), but according to Phil, this bike is "exceedingly rare". No other survivors are known at this time. If anyone else has one of these or pictures of one, I would love to see it. I was unable to find any pictures whatsoever on the internet. This bike has no serial number that I was able to find. Most of the shiny parts appear to be nickel, not chrome. The grips are not any of the common styles found on other bikes of this period and I've never seen a chainring like this one. Here are some somewhat detailed pics and I will be more than happy to provide any other pics or info that anyone out there would like. Enjoy!

She rolls!

This is about as cleaned up as its going to get for now. I think the rims might be too shiny for the rest of the bike. I wrapped the wheels in some Carlisle Snake Belly tires that aren't in the best of shape but I think they match the condition of the bike very well. Enjoy!
