anyone know what this is????

[BOSKIPPER]

I have had this mystery machine for a few years. Any info would be cool.

It has a skip tooth chain, 28" tires, and a bent fork.
The only logo I can find is this on the seat.

Seat looks like Troxel

Other than that all I can say is that bike is sweet! I love that sprocket

WOAH. :shock: That is just too cool... I'd say it is 1920's vintage, but couldn't tell you anything else other than that- besides the obivous, that I wish it was in my garage. :mrgreen:

There are people here who will tell you eventually, it's definitely not newer than WW2.

Very cool bike!

Electra sells a modern version of those handlebars for about $20.

Hey, I just e-mailed KC lancer he can tell you more on this bike. He's a big fan of Moto bikes. I think it's a 20's is the wheels metal-clad wood rims or are they just metal? I have a 1920's Century Moto bike and a 1930's Hawthrone and they both look alot like your's. Good luck

 

[BOSKIPPER]

The wheels are very heavy steel. And the tires are united 28" chain tread

This is a 1923 Elgin , it's a lot like your frame.

My first guess is going to be an early to mid 20's Columbia. What kind of hub does it have on the rear wheel? Also, can you see any outline of what the headbadge looked like. If so, post a pick of the headtube up here and that might help give a clue as to what you have here.

cant say for sure since the pictures are awful and i cant tell if the frame is lugged where yours is

 

[BOSKIPPER]

I believe the rear hub is a new departure. There is no outline of a head badge because it has been repainted I am not sure how many times. That Miami does look very much the same, but it is hard to tell due to the small pics. I love all this help I am getting, thanks allot you dirty rats !!!

post some pictures of the serial #(the stamp type may help in an i.d.) theyll be on the bottom bracket
also some good pictures or the drop outs and stays will help

The SN on the BB shell is barely legible, but after much inspection and some careful paint removal I believe the SN is A17619 .
