I agree with kreika the bike in the shaw ad could be anything.what shaw did was had bicycles ship to them from various manuf. and they would put their engine and tank in them.or you could order the kit and put it on your bicycle of choice.

Fantastic responses, thank you!
I agree, however the artist was representing what at that time 1919-24 would be possibly available from the factory.
We do not plan on making a "factory" bike like some and pass it off as one, I think the fact of having this documented kit gives me the huge possibility to create something quite grand.

My goal is for the Shaw to be correct as possible, but from the point of the bike I am able to build what I like as it was a kit added to whatever the buyer had.

So now I ask what would be the fanciest, grandest or most interesting bike to use that would be 21+ frame.
I am hoping to add the front leaf spring forks, not coil, if anyone knows the makers of these as well.
 
The ranger frames used the internal reinforcements same as Shaw advertised for their frames.
 
Question is, what manufacturer was closest to Galesburg Kansas? There may lie the answer. Or it could be who won the builder bid.
