I am just now seeing this thread. I am sorry i have been away so long! Thankfully someone has seen to it that my serial number has been cataloged! This is all good stuff. It has been years since ive looked at the bike and honestly had given up on research because no one knew anything about it and nobody had this much input! So happy to see so many of these bikes out there! Thanks!

Regarding the pierce kramer frame, mine has a peculiar rear dropout, and the bb has no dust cover over the bearings, from the 1916 catalog, thus is for easy oiling track side. Does any of the other racers here show these features as well? Dont see these details in a lot of these images.
