Is this bike for sale?

shame about the top and down tube being destroyed.

The headbadge is Angola, I would agree that it looks like an amateur racer, similar to mine.

ps, they are Pierce Cycles, no arrow in the name.

Yes, a few issues but still a cool looking bike Joe.

I bought this today from a local antique dealer. Looks like an old repaint. Top bar and down tube have dents. Top plate on right fork is stamped Pierce. Wheels match and hubs have all old hardware. No makers marks on the hubs. Rear wheel spins pretty true, front has wobble in rim. Rear cog is welded fast to lock ring. Frame is 21". Seat is signed on sides but is not legible. One hedbadge screw is broken off.

What time frame do you think it is from?

Thank you.

heck all it needs is a little bondo use a little extra hardener then just smooth it out and its good as new and strong too ! most new cars have it in them from the factory ! another great product is alumi/lead its a powdered metal based product it uses fiberglass hardener to activate ,you can drill and tap the stuff the white based product can be used to repair bridge work, it still will pop loose when crunching ice <darn it>have not found anything to hold up to ice ! and yes we have tried dental porcelain several times .the product used to spot repair cannot be heated up to a high enough temperature to get it hard enough to bond and cure enough to handle ice !< have tried several blends ect > anyone else had any good luck ?

Use this tool and just touch up the area.

Would either of you sell these racers?

Not planning on it anytime soon, it is my most ridden bicycle. In other words, it would take stupid money to part with.

Jesse McCauley has a Pierce racer he may sell. @Jesse McCauley

The 24-tooth chain ring sprocket looks interesting, with the coffee or meat grinder shape; I have a similar looking 22-tooth (girls) version that I was told was a Westfield part.

What's stupid money? I know what stupid money means but how much stupid money? Lol
