Help in identifying this bike..
Can anyone identify this bike for me? Also, any recommendations on the best place to locate an identical one? Thanks in advance for your help!

Without better pics an ID is nearly impossible. It looks like a '40s, '50s, '60s, era 'step through' or ladies frame. Just sit and search through craigslist a few times a month and hit some swap meets.

"Identical" might be difficult, but "similar" is nearly everywhere.

Looks like late-50's to me. The guys on The Cabe will likely be able to nail it down for you. They may even know a source for something very similar. The step-through (we used to call them girl's) frames like this can be had for very reasonable prices.
