Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
An expert on GWM from this site once indicated GWM demise in 1920's, but we've seen adds of similar Crown and America bicycles in the early 1930's.
If Synder acquired GWM assets did they close the Indiana factory, or continue to make GWM-like bikes for some time, or just have a bunch of leftover frames and stuff. I have a bike with GWM features, but it is a 28" with narrow fork and straight chain stays (rear forks); so I would say that those are different, but similar frames. It looks like mine will fit a small round-top tank too.
Does the O.P. bike have flush joints at the bottom bracket, or the characteristic Snyder joints?
