California Bikes on ebay
« on: May 31, 2012, 10:54:37 AM »
Two more Servi-cycles on ebay.  Search "Simplex Servicycle".  The complete one appears to be '53 or older, the other one a '55 or newer.

Here are the links.

The Simplex 125 decal came out in 1952, and I'm not sure how long it lasted, but I think 1953 was the last year of a clutch model.

Mike, did you happen to send the seller a message for the engine and chassis numbers?

Check out the muffler assembly on the simplex 125, looks homemade.

Rick, yes I did send them a request for the numbers, but havent' heard back so far.  Ya, that muffler looks like a home brew.
