Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Help Identifying Frame

Hi all, new to forum and have a question right of hand. A buddy of mine gave me the bike pictured due to his not riding for quite some time, and moving. He didn't have any idea what brand the frame is so naturally I have no idea either. The serial number on the underside of the bottom bracket looks like SFxxxxxxxx. I can post the actual # if that helps. Anyone have any idea?

It could be an older version of the Pake "Rum Runner."

I don't think so; ~~note the triangle in the track end.]

And I don't know if all the Rum Runners have it but the ones I saw pix of have integrated seat clamps.

Doh. Generic is probably right though.

+1 on the generic. Looks pretty average. Could it be bigshot?

BTW, fix that janky saddle angle, and get foot retention

Haha well I hope you mean nasty as in good. It's a 1926 Model T. Not the safest thing to drive but it's super fun.
