Joe's special questions

[redline1968]

I've been kicking this around for awhile... Perhaps somebody can give me some ideas on manufacturer and few other answers on it plenty of pics ..I know the bars are GN HD the frame is Hugh 11/4 diameter the braces are 7/8" wide.. front hub is 1" diameter with heavy duty spokes the chain is 1/2 wide and crank bent for a motor.. looks Davis but the numbers are in a different direction the rear dropouts are extra heavy duty and frame is flattened on the inside for a sheave belt system.. looks factory made for a motor but what factory and type of motor if that's the case..any other info would be appreciated..thanks

Yes, agree Emblem w/Pierce-looking rear back-drops left side possibly repaired? Upper headset and badge pics Redline? There are only two Emblem frames I have seen with flatted inner seat and/or chain stays..Emblem HD three-rib fork below. Edit: Cap race headset Emblem. Fenders seem added to frame/fork. Broken off Chain Adjusters~~see bottom photo for Pierce/Emblem bikes. I have been looking for that trussplate and lower cup forever.
