Badged as Shelby, but I don't recognize the frame. Also, the sprocket looks Westfield to me. This bike is for sale locally in St. Louis. Thanks, rob.

I like the bars and seat, but it looks more like a westfield frame and crank. But I don't know that westfield made a crowned fork with attached trussrod bridge.
A better look at the seat binder area and rear drop outs would help. but I am sure there are a few people here that can point you in the right direction.

Just a guess, looks like a rollfast to me.

Westfield frame and fork. I think that fork was last used in 36 but may have been used into 37. The crank is also Westfield.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking also. This is a bike that a friend told me about, the seller won't throw out a price and I'm not in the mood to play the game right now. My offer would probably not satisfy him anyway. I do think it has potential though. But it's another house paint bike.

The seat looks decent, and it has long pull handlebars! House paint or not, it's worth throwing a number out there.
