Subject: [CR]Pierce Arrow

I have not had much response to the pre war fixed gear bike I posted yesterday. A poster on the Cabe suggested it is a Pierce Arrow. Oddly enough after much searching, there's a good pic right in the CR USA section that shows a Pierce Arrow that is very similar in build. Similar seat stay arrangment, fork crown and rear drop-outs. Also the holes in the headtube on my bike look like they would fit the Pierce Arrow headbadge. The stem looks similar too.

If anybody has any catalog images of Pierce bikes, or LONGSHOT has a spare headbadge for sale please let me know.

The bike I have is actually in much better shape than I thought. I have it completely apart and have started prepping the frame for paint.

Thanks, Jon Williams
