Nick, this bike doesn't have the Fauber crank. No threaded bottom bracket or cutouts. Just your typical stuff instead.

Right on Dave, thanks. I hope we can identify this frame further. As a Mead aficionado, I'd like to know if other manufacturers were involved. Serial numbers? I don't have a data base, but maybe Patric can take over there.
Please keep this thread informed if anything can be confirmed.

Found out via fone-call from Dave the frame is blessed
with a 26'' seat-mast .. and has a non-Fauber crankcase.
In my opinion, the frame is a Miami-Built having no adjusters
at the rear dropouts ... very-stout fender-bridges and may
possibly be a special-creation for Mead ... personally have
never seen a Miami frame taller than 24''.
The fork is a design I am not familiar with in the Miami-Built
line. The crown looks very-similar to one of the Iver-Johnson
fork crowns .. 'tho not so robust.
Will know more about the machine when it arrives.

Thought info in 1915 ad is significant ...
That 26'' tall seat mast on the Stromberger frame
is not listed in any Miami lit that I have peeped --
but the company was equipped to build whatever
was asked of it by consumers.
Miami was a manufacturer, right .... ?

Can anyone here prove its not Great Western built? I was told years ago by a fellow member "CrownKing" that all these teens Crusaders were GW built. It seemed to be his forte. I've never heard of Mead utilizing Miami for their assembly. They could of bought out some old production, just never heard of that.
These weird type of things can be called Meadisms.
Since it is a Mead Crusader, the French gray paint was a factory choice from Mead, right?
