1954 Mystery Bike.
I've made some minor changes

Leather saddle
New NOS tires (Kenda)
19T cog on hub (will probably add a 20T and new chain)
Repacked front hub bearings
re routed brake cable
re-positioned trigger

I'm now convinced that this is a British frame
with Canadian parts added to finish off.
The red/burgandy and cream combo is very Canadian.
The Made in Canada sticker probably really
means Assembled in Canada to meet trade tariffs etc
with a percentage of Canadian built parts added to qualify.
A nice bike but really not a bike for me to ride.
