not much appears to be original, possibly the mud guards, and possibly the rack on the back.
It could be as old as the 30’s.
What size wheels an tires does it have?
Yeah there really isn't much original I'd say. I don't think the mud guards are, I had to take the front off as it was rubbing a bit.
I believe the bike was restored to be a show piece rather than a functional one.
The person I bought it from said the head badge couldn't be restored so they replaced it but I don't know whether it was replaced with an identical styled one.
They said the pedals were original and presumably they also meant the crank but could be wrong.
And I don't think the rack is as they had 3 other brand bikes with identical racks.
Wheels are 28 x 1 3/8. I wonder whether this originally had 26 x 1 3/8 though.
