Got this for a pair of 24" Fenders

Hey RRB! I don't know what this frame is! It's a 26" I have NOTHING. Not even bearings. The bike shop guy told me it was a huffy but I have my doubts. It looks as if it has no welds! Maybe they were grinned down? I couldn't find a number which is even more weird! Well here are the pics! :mrgreen:

Whatever it is, it's looking better already with primer on it. Gary

I am by no means an expert @ all, but mite be a snyder enterprises made frame.
Check left rear dropout for a faint "SE" with a circle around it.
Murry made similar frame too so who knows?

Definately a Ross. Those forks look Ross and the dropouts are a giveaway. The head tube probably has the holes like all my Ross frames have had. I had one similar to yours I traded awhile back. The serial number is on the bottom bracket, small digits, and starts with an "R". It should also have that metal lip on the bottom bracket.

Nice swap!

Is there a correct headbage? I was a little confused when I saw multiple holes.. I was going to paint it flat green and do some WWII themed lettering

It's hard to say what exact head badge went on it, but here's a thread showing one:

Oh well. I'm currently painting it right now! Will post pics in the builds section tonight!

Here's a Ross built bike I did for last year's buildoff contest. It was badged as a "Norwood".

Same frame. We decided it was mid 60's but can't get much closer than that.

Twin top tubes are a sign of the Ross design. A few other builders did them too, a few Murrays and Huffy models had similar configurations.

You can see the telltale frame hole as well.

The finished bike didn't come out too bad... feel free to email or PM here if you have any questions about any of the work I did on it. [email protected]
