My favorite time of the year is what is known as Indian Summer which can last mere days or sometimes weeks. I have had for a few years a mental vision, kind of a happy place, of rolling along on a motorbike type bicycle during this brief period without a care in the world. This year it becomes a reality. I bought my Edwards & Crist Cadillac on New Years eve and it is going to be that bike. With a nod to Neil Young it is named "Harvest Moon".
As purchased:
I initially thought it was a Michigan City Excelsior. Then I found a copy of an original E&C catalog that clearly states it is a Schwinn. The front hub is an ND SM model, rear is an ND model D small arm which would date the bike as probably 1933.
