Hi Everyone,
I have been gone a long time but I just haven't owned any vintage bikes for some time. Anyway I picked up this little guy at an antique store today. It caught my eye and I couldn't get it out of my head. Low and behold when I got it up to the counter is was 20% off!! I am having trouble figuring out who made it. It seems to be circa 1950's and was either modified or fixed at some point. I say this because the lower two downtube tubes are re-welded at the bottom bracket. Also the bike is a fixed gear with a very odd rear axle configuration consisting of cotter pins and washers to hold it in the frame.
