PROJECT SIMPLEX
WillH:
Hauled my Simplex project home last night. It's represented as a '54, serial #17373 as near as I can tell (it's pitted in this area, so not positive). I've got it scattered in pieces after a mornings effort. Spokes are tight, wheels run true, rims: little or no pitting; good sheave; right side fill tank with original paint/decal; no rust in or out but I think wrong tank for the year. Original leather seat with winged Servi Cycle logo embossed (slightly smaller seat than the automatics I've seen; bolts permanently installed before cover). Front fork is descent shape; frame has some damage but repairable (really rather have a better one). All it needs is a little TLC!

Ricks:
Come on Will, no holding out, Post some pictures!
Gramps:
My 56 frame number is 10299 so yours should be laterer than a 56
Ricks:
With that frame number, I would say it is a 1959.
Gramps:
I just noticed your handle bar mount has straight sides.
That would indicate it is later than 1954.
