what the heck is this?

I got it at the jefferson WI car show and swap meet today for little money. I plan to use it for the build off, but I am curious to know what it is and I have no clue.

I don't know what it is, but the twin bar aspect of it is interesting. Should be a good base for your build off bike.

the four bars is what caught my eye. Am i allowed to start taking this apart if i'm using it for the build off? i might start that tonight if i can.
still wondering make/model
Thanks!

Ross made.

I've got a frame in the for sale section that's nearly the same.

I recently traded my Fleetwing that had a frame identical to that.

Ok, I found the serial #, I forgot to write it down

I will get it down tomorrow and we can find out what year it is. Thanks for the info guys, Ross / fleeting. I'll do some research!!!

I have a Western Flyer badged frame that looks like that. See this post:

Looks Ross to me. Needs some welding in a few spots but cool frame

The sprocket, fork crown, and holes in the head tube are giveaways, it's definitely Ross made. Nice bike.

What's the deal with all the holes? Thanks for the help!
