Help I.D. this TOC/teens era frame, if you please

Thanks again, Patric.

I will send a message asking if this can be moved into the Davis thread.

In the meantime, I'm wondering if you (or anyone else reading this) have any thoughts on the wrap-around detail on the head tube? In my brief poking around, this is the one trait that I haven't seen on any other bike...

I'm wondering if the head lugs are a repair. Inside the head tube does the top tube/down tube go into the head tube and fishmouth?

Sam, if I understand what you are describing, then yes.

If it is an older repair, then it looks really professional- short of the wrap-around portion at the top front of the head tube being a little off from side to side.

Here's a photo looking up from the bottom of the head tube:

Your looking at the original factory internal fish-mouthed lugs. The external lugs are a repair.

Here's a photo of a Rambler with the same repair lugs. Being this is a rambler frame makes it very easy to see that the lugging were added repairs

Too small for me...

Interesting bicycle I rescued from the re-cycling center in Portland. Too small for me to ride, so I've passed it on.

I had not considered the possibility of repair lugs, good investigation work here.
