Introductions / Another Newbie - Simplex Automatic - New Mexico
« on: June 15, 2016, 01:41:27 PM »
What up?  Found me a Simplex Automatic.....I found it in Roswell, NM with a tree growing through the frame!  The guy thought it was an old Indian frame and so did I originally till I sanded the tank exterior and the words "Simplex Automatic" appeared and having a Twin Neck gas tank I'm convinced it's an "Auto!"  No motor but two wheels, tank, frame, seat pan with single spring, rear wheel luggage rack, I think the break rod, and handle bar plate!  I have sanded the frame and repainted Black to stop the rust and had to drill a few holes in the break housing because it was frozen solid to get some lube in there!  I'm actively looking for parts and have made contact with Wayne M., and received a parts list!  I'll post pre-restoration pics and progress pics as I proceed!  Any and all advise appreciated!
