At this point, the six photos I have are almost only a tease. I shot these a while back, in great haste, and have not had a chance to examine this bike more closely.
Thought you folks might like a chance to guess at the builder and possibly even ID the components. I plan to return for a better look at the bike soon, and to take some measurements and of course better and more detailed photos.
The owner thought the bike was Swiss made, but there are no markings at all. The frame and fork are full chrome or nickel plated. Even the components have no clear markings - at least not in these photos.
Would welcome any guesses. Very nice lugs... which I don't recognize at all. Perhaps 1950s? 3-piece hubs, wood rims, steel cranks... Worth a look.
