Fletch 521 - antique Crescent

Your thread was too pic heavy I couldnt get the reply in there Anyhow, your tandem is fantastic and of course the name Crescent is special to us swedes. A little history; the first Crescent were imported from the Us in 1897. The bike on pic is one of those. In 1907-08 the production of swedish Crescents started and from there on there was no more kinship with the US brand. But, as you can see from the pic with a modern head badge of today the similarity with your bike´s head badge is...same! So the heritage lives on!

(In 1960 the Crescent/Nymans industry were incorp with Monark - thus the name MCB MonarkCrescentBolagen).
