I live for the CABE
Okay... I need some help identifying this racer. Here’s what I know and some photos...
Head tube is 4”. Badge holes aren’t uniform. From the front, the right badge hole is 1 5/16” from the bottom. The left badge hole is a little over 1 5/8” from the top (or 2 3/8” from the bottom). Both holes are back beyond the halfway point of the head tube circumference.
The dropouts have a simple hole and no threaded adjusters.
The seat stays swell and taper down to the dropouts starting at 11/16” at the seat tube and swelling to 13/16” at the fender brace (not drilled) and then tapering back down. The width (outside edge to outside edge) at the fender brace is a hair under 2 1/2”.
The bottom bracket is split with Fauber hardware. The serial number 20179 has an “R” above it which I’m assuming denotes “Racer”.
Fairly certain the fork isn’t original to the bike which opens the possibility of a stayer style racer perhaps. Anyhow, that’s what I know. Let me know your thoughts. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
