Thanks! But once again, no badge! Haha funny, we see this chainring turning up but still no ID other than vague illustrations in old ads. Hey check out the front tire on that bike, whoah!

I did. Love that color, but not the stand indent. Look at the chain stay crimp on the rear fork end. Can't say I've seen one like that before.

Someone here should be able to ID the bike from that, it is pretty unique.

Is it only a reflection?

I'm not convinced the frame will define this sprocket as they were changed out so often (typically). DP Harris? Snyder looking tripple plate fork looks Snyder28-er and a"could have been" changed in also. Without the badge, guess. Emblems' triple-crown, heavy duty forks have the attached truss braces incorporated into the bottom crown plate. All that slathered on paint hides all clues.

Looking at the end of the tubing at the fork end the joint line appears to have an upward curved line, and the light reflection is from center line to the outer tube. Sure looks somewhat dimpled to me. This piece could have very well been built back up from misc. parts though.

Emblem badged Rick with dimpled stays.

T A Rick Emblem 1934? | Classic Balloon Tire Bicycles 1933-1965

A nice clean up of a 1934ish Emblem built T A Rick badged motobike. Some artistic liberties taken with the modified patina painted tank and decals. Recovered troxel tip top saddle .came out real cool.
