Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Anyone know of frame origins for Mead that stamped serial numbers high left side of seat tube? I have a 05-10 Ranger with numbers placed on upper left seat tube, nothing on BB.
 
Mine Too!!!
It Most be a 1910s Thing!
The serial placement may be associated more with a specific frame supplier rather than an era, I have and had many Meads of this period, this is the first I've seen with this distinguishing placement.
Do you have pics of your example of this bike?
 
Redline68, thanks. Do you have any info on Canadian sourced frames for Mead? That is interesting to me.

Sam, thanks. Nick-the-cut was thinking English too, not too surprised by that, since Mead was obviously in business in England.


Here's the frame, apart for an overhaul.

Put humpty back together.

Continuing with the English made frame theory,
The chain, chain ring, pedals are English, although these are common to USA made Meads also.

Anyone with other supporting evidence to an English made frame?
