I Just acquired a Crown Bicycle Was Wonderimg if any body had any info on this beauty ......
 
Great bike. My guess would be late teens, as I believe since it is an Indiana made bike that is why I have seen Johnson Motor Wheels mounted on them. They were from Terra Haute.
 
Over on The Wheelmen site it says 1918 as the last year of Crown, GWM.
 
It is considered a Motorbyke. I'd buy it for my Johnson MW, but I flat broke from buy'n too much CABE member stuff......lol.
 
I have a 1948-1950 Scwhinn DX or the Running travis engine, but not both. A circa Teens Shapleigh Special racer style, and two different 1936 Elgins...similar to this blue one.
