Well folks I finally got my Nova home , my nephew picked it up for me a couple months ago in Columbus Georgia . Any ways Markus helped me i.d. it but here's the deal , The Super Sport came with a drum brake , fenders , and removable handlebars , the Deluxe Sport came with no fenders , scrub brake and fixed handlebars , so , This bike has everything the Super Sport had except the removable handlebars ?? Things I know , The engine is not original however it is an HS 40 and runs good , the fenders are not correct but kinda cool , kickstand and foot pegs are missing , someone made the foot pegs you see and pretty neat too as they were attached with u-bolts so the frame is spotless , no re-welds or holes at all , really straight and solid , the back tire appears original as it's a Double Indian head 5" , the front wheel is not correct and is 4" , The frame has been painted black and the seat has a separated pleat and has been painted red ( Oh Karen ) , the fork neck bushings are super tight too ! So if I'm correct these were made for only a couple years in late 60's in Gardena California so the question is how'd this mini get mix/matched forks/handlebars ?? Did they piece bikes together at the end of their production to use up parts ??? Also missing the steel chain guard , us kids just couldn't stand chain guards !
