3 wheel Simplex for sale
« on: July 09, 2019, 03:06:15 PM »
My sister in law wants to sell the Simplex Servi-Cycle that she and her departed husband restored.

It is in storage in CA.

Was last driven in the 90's

No title, and very little paperwork.

I have inserted some pictures of the cycle.

Please contact me if you are interested.....or if you have a suggestion on where I should post.

Thanks

More pictures would help. Where are you located in California?

We are going to need more info.  What are the engine and frame numbers?  Some pictures of the clutch and drive system would also be helpful.

The bike is in storage N. California.

I am helping (or trying to help) from afar......no where near the storage location.

I did not take the pictures.......will post additional pictures. None of the pics have any p/n s/n on them.

Sorry

I fully agree that the pictures lack critical information about the bike.

Can someone show / explain what you would like to see....and more impotantly where on the bike the inforation can be found.

Perhaps "good" pictures that I could send to my sister in law, showing her what she needs to document.

Also, if there is someone in the group who is in N CA .....Modesto. Ripon, Stockton area....who could act as a proxy and examine the bike?

I am the "3rd wheel" in all of this.....very sorry

Photos like this would be nice.

Engine number is on left side bottom of engine and will start with an "M".  Frame number is under the neck and may be hard to read.
