Finally riding a big boys bike
I have an honest barn find that I pulled out of some rafters this very night, will go back for the broken wood rims (non-clad) tomorrow that are in very poor shape but rear axle is still there.
Please help with year and better identification.
What we know.
This is a Mead Crusader
It has a two piece crank with sprocket being able to be removed by 4 bolts.
Unknown make saddle but is a gents racer.
Unknown make pedal but is also race style.
Tall frame with 5" between top and bottom bars.
Rear, frame and forks are rolled tubing.
The forks have interesting tips that have been slid into the fork and press riveted.
? type of bottom end that has two bolts to adjust, I don't know much about this type, but would like to know more.
Frame is factory shaved in rear and forks.
Tubes are slightly larger than normal.
Factory British racing green with some type of fancy filigree decals under top bar on seat tube and front down tube that are still visible.
All can be determined in the photos here.
PLEASE help me with any information as to what specifically this is as I am wanting to restore it.
