Wow! Super cool bicycle! Thanks for sharing. Any serial number under bottom bracket? Must be earlier teens. 17-18 I am guessing…pre letter crank….let us know.

Will get tomorrow Thank you

Now I am starting to think it could be 1919…with the deep fenders… paneled and pins paint…..? I have the 1921 catalog..and the
Y A L E chainring is on the men’s models….also the 1921 catalog doesn’t appear to offer the archbar “truss” roadster. Hope its not the “D” stamped bottom….let us know if you see anything.

Excelsior must have scooped up a bunch of sprockets from the (former?) Davis company?

I thought I read somewhere here on the CABE a while back that Excelsior used a number of Davis components for a brief stretch. I’ve looked for this mention in recent history with no luck of finding it.

@SKPC ... and all gentle readers of this 23-T Davis racing-ring snippet, posted in this thread ...... WHAT THE HAY was the haps between Excelsior and Davis (shared parts), back in the day? We have seen other examples of other Davis rings placed in Excelsior frames ... but with this relic, we can see the inclusion of a Davis racing fork AND a girl's bayonet crank (not necessarily Davis), within that ring. ( ? ) Random or Orchestrated ?
