Quad-tube 26" cantilever frame

[383Camino]

I acquired this gem last night from an out-of-state Craigslist ad, but I've never seen a frame with twin cantilever tubes AND twin top tubes. Anyone familiar with this rascal?

Looks like an IMG. Dual twin tubes were on Murray Ohio bikes of 50's and 60's.

Oh really? I associated those elongated rear drop outs with Murray frames, which this doesn't have.

Ross/CBC.
Similar to a super deluxe.
There are mention of them here, that frame is a little different than mine. But the headtube has the same holes.

Would have looked something like this.

Could also be a Coast-King, build by Murray in the mid 60s. I have one really similar to this one, and it's a Coast-King.

Thanks! I think it may single speed ride, maybe a klunker-esqe type bike for dirt roads and such at the cabin.

Murray frames don't have holes in the head tube though, pretty much only Ross did in the 60s. There were plenty of CBC/Ross built Coast Kings though, as well as Huffy. -Adam

Was just looking at my frame, it has the holes in the head tube so Ross/CBS it is.

The chain guard and chain wheel are also Ross. It's most probably late 50's before they went to the next style of chain wheel. Your forks are replacements.

Wow thanks everyone!
