As I said the frame was modified but the front forks were not with the exception of added disk brakes. I NEVER said it was original, I never said the pedals were original, I know there not. I said he started with a 39MW and he did. If you don't know that the springer front end is original 39MW then, you just don't know.I've been a bike collector for years. and there were no bikes with oversized downtubes, reflector pedals, 1"chains... (there's more subtle details i could point out...) made in 1939.
