30's Davega "Reggie McNamara" model 28" Motorbike! Has a Columbia/Westfield 'coffin' sprocket, probably built by them. I stuck the balloon rims on it, but they don't fit. This cries out for some tasteful patina'd ratting! Reggie was a board track racer from Australia in the 20's. I've seen some Monark built Reggie's from the 40s in Evolution I or II..
