What year is my cycle - New project ?

[logic2]

Hello, I'm new to this board and I've been restoring cars/trucks for quite some time but this is the first servi-cycle I've ever seen, not to mention try to restore.  I actually rescued it from being taken to the salvage yard and performed the following:

Disassembled, Sanded and Painted
Reassembled
Rebuilt Motor - Restored and painted (Looks and RUNS GREAT)
Wheels and bearings appear to be in great shape.
New Tires

Need to replace bearings in centrifugal clutch
Need to find a kick start enclosure (I've been starring engine with electric motor and 3/4" socket)


Note sure about the year and model of my bike or the estimated value, but I might consider selling it.

Engine #'s:  M23O65B  and I have the original Simplex aluminum tag.

Thanks for any information

Looks like an awesome little ride Mike.   My name is Tom and I am in Midland,MI.  Welcome to land of Simplex!

Welcome Mike.  Your motor is newer than your bike.  At first glance the bike looks to be a '47/'48, but the motor was built during the '56 model run.

You'll get lots of looks & questions from people as not many people remember the Simplex.

It's faster than the speed of dark

Anyone have an idea about the model or year of my bike ?
Are there any design or style features that indicate a particular span of years that this cycle could have been built ?

Thanks for the welcome
