I had this arco since I was a kid. I didn't own it when it was new. Heck, I don't even remember where it came from:laugh: When I started cleaning the bike up a few years ago, I cut the rear tire off. It was a 1967 good year. ( I will double check that, kept the tire) The front is double indian head saw tooth. That leads me to believe the bike is "early":shrug:
