And what about this chainwheel?

[Brian R.]

Ah, I get it now, thanks. I was surprised at the possibility Hyslop could be sourcing parts from Schwinn. I was expecting maybe Fauber or Davis.
Where did you get it from? - or where do you think it came from, Canada or the US?

Golden Indian, I've seen that chainwheel on Simmons bikes before in other threads (but had forgotten), which increased/confirmed my suspicion that Hyslop imported that crankset and called it their own. Who do you think made it? I see you're a Davis fan, do you think Davis made it? ....Fauber?

It is in the Simmons catalog. Off the top of my head I thought it was a fauber....I’ll have to look to see if I can find that ad...

Another Westminster with that ring.

Here is my truss frame bike over painted hiding original olive green paint

(make unknown), with the same chain ring.

Ken, have you noticed there's a slight ghost image of a badge on your truss frame? Have you tried to match it up with known Hyslop badges or other likely suspects?

 

[ccmerz]

Hmmm..... No I have not. Hyslop, as far as I know, never made a truss frame model. This bike was bought in the US.

Does the A&S stamped (cast) crank in post #6, 1st picture, look like an “AS 26” with an upside down “5” instead of a “2”?
