all riders
Finally riding a big boys bike
Yesterday I received this frame/fork in the mail from fellow member Krakatoa (shipped in a bomb-proof fashion). The first pic. shows how frame and fork arrived, mostly black. I have applied some elbow power and have exposed what I think could be og paint. Along the way I uncovered the badge holes and that got me to thinking about what to build this Snyder as. The holes are vertical and are spaced at 2 7/8 (using a great deal of the headtube). I need someone who knows badges or Snyder products or both who can point me to a badge that would have that spacing and that would have been on a Snyder--it would be great if that badge also had a proprietary (or strong association) chainring.
It seems that Excelsior would have been in their fold at this time period and some badges might have the right spread.
In the third pic, it seems that there might have been blue pins on the edges of the darts--giving the whole thing a Red, White, and Blue theme and I feel like there might have been a badge "American Ace" or similar--don't know. Your knowledge, help or thoughts will all be appreciated
