American Flyer - Emperor
Does anyone know anything about these frames? Picked this up today from a local club member. He found it in the trash several years ago and has done a lot of work on it.

Bump for Long Legs Anderson over here. This does belong in C&V.
In exchange I would like "right of first refusal" if you ever get rid of that bottle cage.

That is the original hub, there's a spacer on the non-drive side.
