I am slowly redoing a straight bar cruiser bike. I think it might be European but am not sure. The wheels and tires on the bike are not original. Nor is the seat and chain guard. Things that are different include having a three piece cottered crankset. Where the seat stays and seat tube come togeter they are bolted with the seat tightening bolt instead of welded. It has an unusual fork for a cruiser. Pictures included. Anyone know who made this and or where? Roger

It looks like it has a headbadge on it? That would tell right off. But yes definitely european with that weird
tube junction and cottered cranks. American bikes of the era were all one piece cranks and 7/8 or smaller seat posts for the most part. Cool old bike!!,,,,BD

It doesn't have a head badge. What you see is the original green paint showing through. Roger
