While the small builders, did variable things, the crown looks investment cast due to the flat at the forward center, later bikes I have seen, '73 and early '74 did not have this, replacement or not, this one is one to shy away from, now if it had been uncrashed... and perhaps un-spread, I question the original 6 speed width too... no matter, just watch the less informed with fat wallets bid aggressively.
