    Bought from a European Bicycle Master, as is, replaced rear tire, rides nice!

    Very hard to identify front end, handle bars are strangely, bent to fit the exact width of the pedals outside dimension (15.x in)

    This led me to think it may be a military or para-military courier or somehow ended up in narrow pathways/roads, typical in pre-war era Europe!

    Springer front end is both ways, shocks in the tubes, and up top going the other way. Definitely headed to a green & black paint scheme...

    Rear wheel has very large dia spokes, and apparently, motorcycle spoke nuts that are larger than any bike tools I have. I had to use my motorcycle spoke wrench set to true the rim. And the dimples to support the spoke nuts have large areas not common to any wheel I've ever seen.
