I kinda know what I have, question is..is it worth keeping original? Or do what the heck I want??
Besides the rust on some of the chrome, the frame is actually not bad all.

That's a heavy duty steel frame, and made in America, like Emory. If the paint is perfect you may want to keep it original, but it won't ever be worth a fortune. Maybe change some things so you can return it to original if you change your mind. Apes and a Brooks saddle. Maybe a kickback 2 speed rear hub, springer and homemade frame insert, like a tank, with some nose art.

Someone was looking for one of these a little while back... someone here on rrb.... cool frame!

Do what the heck you want, keep the original bits bagged up if you think you may want it back original some day. That is a super cool frame to play with. I second Wildcats ideas.

The frame is definitely different. Its down to the frame right now. I wasn't worried about its worth money wise. But I guess I feel bad because when I researched this frame the pics I've seen, all the headbadges are in pretty shape. This one is just about perfect.
