Show your Davis built bicycles

[fat tire trader]

bought this last year and from another post seems to be 1915-16 davis built, questioned my sanity after I got it home with all the tar,varnish or whatever was on it but finally got it cleaned up, need a few parts yet.

Is this sprocket a "Davis" sprocket? I have one that I have been thinking about putting on my 1918? Racycle until I find the right sprocket. I think that I need the sprocket with the "R"s.

1915-17 Very Yummy.........trade? yum, slobber, drool, pant......

More pix to calm my fix!!!!!!!

Thanks Bri, have to take some more pix. I never realized the drop stand was painted same color as frame till I started cleaning it little bonus.

fattiretrader that's one question I have also if this is the original chain ring to this bike as I do not know??

fat tire trader AND crash ... that six-spoke chainring with six, crank-drive-pin, drive holes IS a Davis sprocket ...
the sprocket shows up on the Napoleon .. the Snell .. the Dayton Military Bicycle .. and a few others.

The paint job on that frame, with the spears coming from the bottom bracket, reminds me of a frame that I have been trying to identify. The last suggestion that I got from Carlton is that it may be a Pattee...
You can see it here

I have not seen very many bikes that have spears coming from the bb.

Its hard to tell in the picture. Does the Davis frame have a triple plate crown?
