Buy, Sell, Trade / Re: '48 (?) Servi-Cycle Frame, Handlebars, Front Fender For Sale

Thanks to all who helped with the i.d., and expressed interest in the frame and parts.  I am pleased to say that I found a local Seattlite who will put the parts to good use, so they are no longer available.

Buy, Sell, Trade / '48 (?) Servi-Cycle Frame, Handlebars, Front Fender For Sale
« on: October 23, 2016, 04:12:59 PM »
Hello.  Yesterday I purchased a Servi-Cycle frame, fork, front fender, and handlebars.  I am keeping only the fork for another project.  I would like to sell the remainder.  Not looking to get rich, just can't bear to see these parts not get used.

From information found on your blog, I believe the frame is a 1948 (?), but please comment if I am mistaken.  The frame has surface rust but is unmolested, and appears to me to be straight.  The crash bar on the left side might be bent back very slightly; this could easily be straightened.  There is surface rust, but but the frame is solid and would clean up nicely.  I saw two spots where the tubing needs to be rewarded.  Looks like the seamed tubing has separated for about an inch.

The front fender was chrome at one time, and the chrome is flaking badly, but the fender is solid and relatively straight with no extra holes.  It could be repaired.  The handlebars and neck stem have surface rust but are not bent, and would clean up nicely.  The bars appear that they were never chromed.

I am in the Seattle area.  Not sure how the frame could be shipped...  Please let me know if anyone is interested.

Introductions / Greetings from soggy Seattle

Hi all,

Thanks so much for the add.  I am a new member from the Seattle area.  I am deeply involved (infected?) with old motorcycles, I have a 1938 Harley 74" flathead, which I ride on a local stunt and drill team, the Seattle Cossacks (www.SeattleCossacks.com).  I also have a 1942 Harley WLA 45", a 1948 Indian Chief I just completely restored, and a 1955 Harley ST165.

Yesterday I bought a Servi-Cycle frame,including front fork & fender, and gooseneck style handlebars. I intend to keep only the front fork for another project, and want to sell the remaining parts to someone who will use them.  Not looking to get rich; just can't bear to see the parts not get used.
I will post pictures in the For Sale section.
