This is a very original and early CWC, badged as a Speed King. Serial number starts with A. Johns tires. Nice crusty patina rider with long swooped crossbars and a nice glass reflector. The one problem she has, is the Morrow hub. The crank skips some before engaging, gap needs adjusting in hub. All I did to this bike is add grips, tires and a nice saddle. Local pickup or I will ship in the USA. Horn not included. Price is OBO.

Nice bike Don! Thanks for including the bottom bracket picture. Are the chain stays centered in the bottom bracket? If so this could be a very helpful bike serial number wise to indicate about when the change from offset stays occurred.

Im not sure what you are talking about?
 
That's what it looked like to me. So operating under the assumption that the offset chain stays were the earliest production, your low A serial number would indicate the change occurred early in the run of the first letter consecutive serials. Other early production Cleveland welding bikes have been found with X and Z prefix letters. I don't think anybody has yet definitively year dated these or described whether they were consecutive or concurrent. Just trying to extrapolate some answers.
