Curious as to what makes this Crescent, yet another racer?
Is it the added Kelly bars? The added toe clips? or The actual model number on the headbadge that proves this is an actual Crescent "racer" model?

What is the model number on the headbadge?

The Crescent Racer has “Racer” on the badge. The only difference is the denoted badge and the color of the frame.

As far as I have Learned; Badges Come and Go, Usually 2 Screws!
IF It Looks Like a Racer, Rides Like a Racer, Weights Like a Racer;;;;It Must be a Racer!!
The Badge is No: 10
It Reminds Me of My 1898 Dayton Racer!!!

From the "IngoMike" sale.

Just search "Crescent Racer" and all those pics will come up. Odd Russian(?) name on the down tube.

Carlitos! I like it! What year do you think it is? Can we see more pics? Are the hubs original to the bike?
