No standard chainguard, but the crank mounted pants saver looks unique to 3 speeds.
It looks original.
Date code is 70's something, I cant remember, and I'm at work, so I cant check.
Is this common?
would the standard early chain tooth sprockets from five speeds have the same chain pitch as English 3 speeds?
Too lazy to go back and spin the attachment. Sorry.
Love that Supercycle chainguard! Have to start looking for a couple of those.
