Apologizes for posting this question again, I think I might not have been clear. I'm researching a Monte; it has a racing number holder brazed on (on top tube near head tube). Does anyone know if this was standard, special order or maybe added afterward? It looks to be done at the factory. Additionally, the downtube has the name Eldridge (again seems to be done at factory because the other decals seem correct. Does anyone know of an Eldridge?? A racer from Colorado Springs area perhaps
(where the frame was purchased).
thanks a ton
