Too bad it's not a Huffman.
Dick would've loved this headbadge.

I think of Dick when I ride this bike.
I checked into CWC history of their famous "Master Weld" design; they did it in 1938.
Maybe the offset BB is a design flaw that puts more stress on the seat tube.
I'm pretty sure I need to get it fixed before I ride it like a kid who later becomes a Fighter Pilot.....
I really like this bike and enjoy riding it so I'm asking, "What's the next step?"
 
Doubt it, I have three and none of my 36 off set frames are like that.

Looks like an EZ fix though. Love the look of those roadsters, great bike.
 
We can clamp it on at Reds Java House, zero it for sea level and see if it registers the change up on the bridge. From research I found it's used for sky diving. You can use it for a Yosemite ride!
 
Update; I bought the original neck and bars this bike had when it was found.
I didn't want them because I ride a "different" style and I know of plenty of them that broke.
That discussion I don't want to have here, but the neck broke tightening it and I installed the "Trusty" Wald #3
I took it out and will ride these bars on it as long as I get to be the care-taker of this cool bike.
1st pic was from the for sale ad here when I bought it; passing on those pieces.
