    flat tanker

    I got this bike several years ago and haven't done anything with it except strip off the damaged parts. The rear wheel was half rotted away and the crank had one arm broken off. It is a Mead Ranger, made in Chicago probably in the 1920's. It was found in a barn in the U.P. of Michigan.
