I picked this up on the CABE recently and finished cleaning it up. 1912 "Crown" bicycle, built by the "Great Western Manufacturing Company" in Laporte, Indiana.

Love these! I have yet to see a 24" frame like this, but would love to have one.

Some GWM bikes use 35mm (1+3/8") headset cups, (so maybe 34mm MTB caged bearings could be used in a pinch). The bearing cone and top nut might be fairly standard 1"-24tpi.
