Too bad Phil doesn’t contribute any longer. This one would have been squarely in his wheelhouse!

The frame has been messed with. Note the bottom bar of the top 2 bars where it attaches to the head. See the red circle in the pic. It's not original, but is a bad repair. The height of the head is too short as well for a 26" frame. Look at the green section on this chart, at the J there. It's postwar, 1947, and has a modified/repaired frame.

Looking for any and all info on this Cleveland. I am not so much concerned with what is original, but more with the frame itself. It has 26" wheels, tires and fenders but the geometry is completely different from any other CWC i've seen. The top tubes are pretty close together, the...

Ya, factory CWC shorty frame! Phil would have had the info on this back in the day but Scott @rustjunkie wins the coke here, That's the only frame to compare with, you do better with the search engine here, I could not find the pic anywhere!, @Bikehaus still like to varify it has 26" wheels?

BMX. I have a 20", but I prefer my 26" Dirt Jumper in the cruiser group

No one is saying it never had any repairs. I've seen many bike frames repaired there at the BB. The rest of the frame is legit and not modified to be a shorter frame.

For the record, I never said it was made shorter. I just pointed out the BB weld repair, and areas of concern and difference, and wanted her to make sure the repair is good, and safe to ride.

My other comparison pics were posted before she did some cleanup and posted better pictures of those areas I circled. When that was done, it ruled out the red circled areas. But, the BB weld repair was proven by her pic. Also, the pics I posted to actually be able to compare her frame to a 46-7 26" 3 gill tank frame helped to rule that out. Her initial post was all wrong. It's not a 41 AA frame, and it's not a 46-47 3 gill frame either. That we know. We also now know the BB was repaired. Sometimes to get to the reality of what it is requires good comparison pics, questions being answered, etc. Through the flow of the conversations here, she now has answers that changed the reality of what this cool CWC bike is and has helped the project, and now she can go in the right direction with her easy to ride bike. So, it's all good.
