I bought this bike about a year ago on an auctions site, so I'm not sure about the model. I think it might be a Hosteller or Hosteler. The bike originally had cottered cranks and 5-speeds. Over the winter I took the bike apart and built it up using left-over parts. It isn't exactly the lightest of bikes, but it is lot of fun just to cruise around in.
