Is there a serial number on the back of the seat base?

If I'm not mistaken, once all of the time pieces are missing from a Blackwidow, the only thing that still makes it a BW is the serial number. If the serial is missing, it's just a Rupp roller. Could just be a Roadster 2

If the tag is there, get it cleaned up and verify the serial.

That wasn't the question I meat to ask.:laugh: Didn't the blackwidows have extra spokes in the wheels? Something like that.:laugh: Other wise, just a roadster as said above........especially with no I.d. tag.

i think they are the 12" 28 spoke wheels

Do you have a picture of the rear wheel from both sides?
Thanks ...

Here is my question....As far as the Black Widow goes.....what is special about the serial number that says it is a Black Widow?

Rupp used 20 spoke and 24 spoked wheels in the 12"....and 3 different spoke manufacturers...Some rims from Japan and some from Italy

I don't know that they ever used 20 spoke, but I know they used 24 spoke -- Some Blackwidows had 28 spoke wheels on either the front or back, and in a few cases on both wheels.
