It looks a lot like my '38 Club only prettier. Would like to see close-ups of the lugs. The Ideal was built for 26" wheels and came as a fixed gear with a Resilion cantilever. Interestingly, you could opt for the brake in the front or the rear. I wonder if it was common practice back then to outfit a fixie with the brake on the rear? Craig Montgomery Tucson
