Hey Patric,
No apologies needed - any disturbances in my force have nothing at all to do with you.
Thanks again for your guidance.

WELL, BOYS AND GIRLS ... with all my tweakin' the apps on this attachment 'whatzit' ... i has
corncluded that i do not know what the heck i am doin' wrongful in the attaching department
... am no longer messin' with the attachment of those Dayton Badge pics, as my wife of 43 years
just told me, "Holy Crap ... give it a rest, already ... are you still takin' yer medicine or do you
need an adjustment ??! ... I think you need more medicine !!!"

WELL ... MAYBE ............ but let us consider what The Dayton Motorbike looked like AFTER Davis
closed the door ... and Shelby bought a bunch of Davis inventory .. Oh, Yeah !!! ... we have some
very, very rare examples of Dayton Bicycles sold by Shelby, from Flat Tire and Scott McCaskey.

BOTH MEMBERS HAVE given me permission to post pics of these rides.

THIS Red And Black DAYTON MOTORBIKE WITH THE NON-TRUSS DAYTON FORK belongs to Flat Tire.

HIS RIDE IS PRESENTED HERE ... Scott's Shelby-Built Dayton will be presented in the next thread
that i type.

SO .. WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE ?? Typical Dayton Motorbike frame ... Dayton (and often Yale - only)
Fork ... this speciman without truss rods ... shallow drop-side raingutter fenders .. Shelby dropstand ..
flat Dayton chainring .. from 1912-or so, era. Say, what's with that "24" stamped on the underside
of the bottom bracket ??!

FLAT TIRE tells me he added the righteous saddle AND the killer, tiller bars. GOOD CALL !!!
