Picked this up at a bike sale last weekend. Chain was completely rusted solid, rims were rusted through, handlebars broken, but I just couldn't pass up the double sprung fork.....
Before:
After:
added rims and tires, seat, bars and grips that were just taking up space in my garage.
Front tire is a Carlisle Lightning with the Indian Head logo.....love how it matches the Indian Head logo on the headbadge.
Will be attempting a removal of the brushed-on white paint very soon......stay tuned! Going to keep it rat rod style, though, no repainting, etc. maybe sanding and a clear coat after the removal of the white paint....
If anyone has any info about this bike model (Superchief), I'd appreciate you posting it. Thanks!
