Great Help guys!!! I´m so exited about this bike as I am a mountain biker who decided to get an oldie to grab a cup of coffee with some style!!!
The bike is definetely a repaint, and the seat tube bands are not original. They were added in the 70s by the guy who repainted it. The only stuff changed was the seat, the handlebars(the originals broke down while the guy was riding in the 60s). Maybe some other stuff got changed as i bought this from a 80 year old dude, who got it as a present from his granny in 1952, formely owned by his elder cousin.
Nice clamps for the rear brake cable!!! It was being held by some nasty tapes i removed to clean the frame. Ill check the Dia Compe clamps wich are really nice, i gotta check if they do worldwide shipping as I love in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Acording to the rear hub its a 1947 model it reads 5 47. The frame seems a 48 as it reads AM5503. Its getting dark here already, tomorrow Ill rake some nice detailed pictures and ill try to measure the seatpost!!!
Thanx all and lets al figuere out what I bought!!! Whatever it is, I already love it!!!!
