1917? Harley-Davidson Bicycle | General Discussion About Old Bicycles

Hello! Wondering if anyone has any information on the Harley-Davidson wood rim bicycle. Seems to be a 1917-1921? era bike. Wondering what year the bike is what is likely after market/original... seat, light, fenders, kick stand? Also curious if anyone has an opinion on value. Let me know if...

How about an HD Truss frame? I'm not sure if the owner is a Cabe member, but he stated it is genuine. I'd love to see some better pics.

I haven't seen anything of the sorts but interested to know should I ever come across a possible true HD or a clone

The bike is stashed behind several others,
so it's not easily accessible. Here are a few pics the owner was able to snap for me.

Start with the serial number.....if it isn’t at the bottom of the BB running tire to tire in direction it’s a red flag to begin with.

What do the experts have to say about this specimen? Looks correct to my untrained eye...

We could make this thread dedicated to questionable Harley bicycles? Since there seem to be so many fakes and put together HD's out there? The title is quite fitting...

1 so called one on Ebay now. and they are bidding on it. Over $1,300 as of this post. I don't think it is one.
