So why are you referring to it as a WG? Just curious as that designation has never existed...

Rare WG for sale

So why are you referring to it as a WG? Just curious as that designation has never existed...

I guess because that's what everyone around me has always referred it as.... I need to figure out how to change the title of the ad I guess.

I'm nearly blind but is it a 2 bolt frame[3rd hole welded on] & rear end with a 3 bolt trans?

[Papa Jim]

That's what it looks to me - I have a 3 bolt tranny.....tab looks to be added

1955 had a hydraulic brake rear end, not mechanical/

[duffeycycles]

The rear chain won't line up if it is an early frame & rear end and later 3 bolt trans.

[Papa Jim]

I guess I'll have to take your word...the local antique museum guy here said it would......

[Papa Jim]

I know the local antique museum guy was supposed to set me up with hydraulic brakes instead of mechanical brakes before we had a falling out between us in 2000
