The frame has the original guidewheel for the shifter cable, clamp-on bracket for the front cable sheath stop at the front of the toptube, clamp-on front mount for a chainguard, and frame-welded pump mounts. I'll build it out with restored paint (no full strip since I need to protect the original faint gold script on TT, DT and ST), 26 inch wheels, 3-speed S/A hub, handlebar shifter, caliper brakes, fenders, chainguard, headlight, taillight, magneto, and frame tire pump, all "period-correct style", not one new part.

I haven't touched the frame except to take off the seat and seatpost to remove an old chain-lock left on the frame, so I could see the serial number clearly. Here's my starting point:


Perfect for this challenge, nice find
