it wouldn't take much to restore it, you can still get most of the parts, but i'd just clean it up, get some heavy duty rims and slap a motor on it. worksman makes 24's, that's about the best you can get, but they're about 200 bucks.

i've got a 24", 1939 Colson, and it's an awesome bike. the smaller size gets a little squirrelly at high speeds, but i like it.

Don't restore it!!! Clean it up & keep it original!

A wise man once said, "You can restore something 1000s of times, but it's only original once!"

That's a really nice, solid ride you've got there. If you go with heavy duty 2.125 rims and have trouble fitting the fenders, M me and I think I can help you. I have a couple 63 Americans and the frames are very well made. Great bike! The rear rack is a winner, too. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Ten bucks, huh?
