Sounds like a late model sportsman with a wheel change.  Like Pete says, we need a couple of pictures.

Simplex didn't offer a 24" wheel, as far as I know.  Did you measure the rim? What size is written on the tire?

Resize the picture smaller!  The reason I limit picture size is to save space on the server.

If you have the wide flat fenders, you have a 1959-1960 Sportsman.  If so, the wheels are NOT the same as the rest of the Servi-Cycles. They take a 27 x 3 tire, which is not available.

Red ,
You acn always use a host site like : https://postimage.io/
It's pretty simple . You can have your pics resized to 640x480 ( good for any site and big enough to see detail ) .
And , it's FREE .
Then just paste the pic links here .

Pete . :)

I would really prefer you not do this.  The reason, as PD should well know, is when the hosting company changes their rules/protocol, the pictures get lost.  When you post them directly on this site, they will be here as long as the site is here.


Remember PhotoBucket Pete?

I remember . PB has seemingly returned to , at least , some of the old ways . Here's a pic from my free account that is hosted there :

I was just offering another option .
But , I agree , this site hosting is the best route .

Red,  Easy to resize   Go to where your pictures exist on your computer.  Right click on thumbnail you wish to resize. A list of options will open for you.  Click EDIT.  From there a window will open showing the photo.  Then click the pixel dot. Then you can choose pixels size.  I do 640 on the horizontal and it will adjust the vertical for you.  This sizing works pretty well.  Hurry.  We need pictures.  We're men!

Good job Red! That is a late model Sportsman. Do you have the front wheel and engine?  What is the frame number?

Looks like an automatic to me, which wasn’t available until the 1953 model year.  Post some more pictures of the clutch so I can see if it is a single or double track.

What is the frame and engine numbers.  The frame number is under the neck.
