Hello Hutch73,

Seems pretty bogus to me.

Cheers.

Wouldn't a 1944 bike have a skip tooth sprocket if it was original?

 

[sensor]

well even though the grease makes the hubs look black they sure arent black outs and just my usless $.01 but looks to be a 50s bike :?

It's a 50's Evans Interceptor.

Im no expert,but Im calling shenanigans on that.

i would say no way on that. i have a 1942 and that bike looks a lot newer and alot of the bike companys didn't make bikes in 44 because of the war

Let's not forget that Evans sporting goods didn't actually buy the Colson Bicycle co until 1954... ~Adam
