Teens Mead - Model/Year ID

[Dave Stromberger]

Can anyone help me ID the model and year of this tall Mead? Badge is missing, but it has side to side holes. Serial number is 84236. Thanks!

I can show you that bike as a Sears Master. If you take the headset out the cups are stamped with a "D".

These teens Crusader are typically Great Western built. unless the crank has a marking, these are hard to pin point an exact year. A Crusader badge has horizontal holes, that's what it is.

Thanks for the help so far guys. Patric, I'll get some closeup pics for you. I didn't think of Miami as the builder, but it does seem to show the Miami Built characteristics. I'll take the crank and fork out to inspect for any identifying marks. Josehuerta, thanks for the scan.. that's the bike! If this thing wasn't so tall, I'd build it into a rider!

Am curious as to the type of crank-system ... Fauber or something else (?) ....

Thank you - Dave .....
