Todays finds Mead Ranger and Schwinn Pullman motorbike

[ZZ3Malibu]

Looking at catalog pics and info this morning seems I may have a 1933 model 9 Motorbike. http://www.trfindley.com/flschwinn_1893_1940/1933_05.html

And it looks to me that my Mead Ranger is the same bike as in this thread here. https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/mead-ranger-28-motorbike-for-sale.47999/

Accordingly, Girl Phantom only 1 year 1955 and maybe a few late 54 frames for 55 xmas and would have 1955 and up "New style springer". Your bike has pre-1954/5 springer fork. Pieced together on Girl's frame of another name/model.

The A&S built Mead Ranger may have a 1X0,000 series sequence number, on the bottom bracket.
The date might be extrapolated from there;
(I guesstimate a rule of eight; i.e., 1X+8).

I`ll look for it thank you.

Nice finds - looks like the Ranger bars are incorrect as well, but it has a bunch of other good OG parts

Someone please correct me, I've always known Mead Motobike handle bars to have a non removable crossbar...Am I wrong? Are these handlebars and grips correct????

Maybe not an A&S built Mead then; (thought it might be because of the taller frame).
Westfield also built for Mead Chicago, and your example might be a 1930-H.
The 1930’s Mead Christmas ads show the bar hardware.

I really like the Pullman. The color of the badge is pretty cool! I don't think I've seen one like it before. Barry
