No need to losen anything, just take a tape measure to.... The pillar, not the post. (top of seat pillar tube of frame to center of BB crank dimension) Looks like maybe 24"

Jeff,
I think that Brian may be onto something. My colleagues and I here at the museum have done some research and our thoughts seem to align. My best guess is a circa. 1895 track racer.
The design of the big ring would be closest to a Pierce from our collection, but it was not a perfect match. These pieces changed quite a bit and companies would buy whatever was priced right on the market, but the bicycle in other ways most resembles a Pierce.
Good find!

I have seen the fork crown before but can't really place it to any old ads that I have. I know I'll find it if I keep searching.
In the meantime, I believe about 99.99% that the bike is a Patee.

Patee used this crank and chain ring. Also, the seat stay connecting to the seat cluster is identical to a Patee.
I do not believe this is a 30" wheel bike either and that it is a 28" wheel bike.

Rear Wheel Dropouts do not match any Patee I can find.
