I've read through the serial # threads, I've gone to specific brands, Make's models..... Just trying to identify, because things aren't making sense.
Here's what i've got, and hope there is some help from those in the know........... Badged as Mercury. 26'' =early head badge that appears to have never been off, skip,drop centers,dog legs,peaked fenders, (front has never been drilled for a light), rear hub is a morrow,- haven't deciphered the front yet. Curved front fender braces,but straight rears. Yes- I have a complete bike, but partially torn down in pics.......
Hopefully- My pics will help identify what I have. Chain ring-( front sprocket in my speak) looks Murray. Never seen a chain guard like this, as well as the fork pattern..........
Too far gone to clean up= has a lot of pitting , so a re-do ,/not a resto is in order, but will be acceptable to a higher standard than it is........
Thanks, and hope you can help!
And also= There is NO prefix/suffix around the serial # =Which makes things a lil confusing. But , just in case the picture isn't clear, the # is
24663.......but looks like an 8 up close!
Thanks-Mike
