Am I READING this correctly? Could this be STANDARD?

Thank you! So...it looks like this crankset is indeed correct! I do need a good headset since I don't believe this one to be correct. Thanks for the pics!

Going by the OP's pics above, I don't believe this frame ever had a badge. Unfortunately, it looks like someone took it upon themselves to drill holes & attach a badge. Kinda bummed...tho it is a nice badge. The damage is done, so I'll leave it & patina the screws a bit to match. Pics to come later...

I seem to remember that the head badge holes were there and that the friend that I sold it to put the badge on. Is it a Golden Gate?

That would be awesome! I was going by this pic which looked like there were no holes. Yes, if I remember correctly it is Golden Gate. Someone sanded away some of the headtube paint right where the headbadge holes are, so I figured they were drilled recently.

I do not know who made the bikes that the Golden Gate badges were for. It could be that the badge is correct/acceptable for your bike. We should compare serial numbers. I have Golden Gate badges, I am going to see if they fit right on my bike,
