well I am new to this and the earliest I have ever heard of is the manx, so that is my guess
My dad had a Johnny's Speed & Chrome rail when i was 2, but there out of business................... Nevermind.
quote:Well I said tube frame buggy, so the Manx doesn't qualify. But good try.

Did Claudes Buggies make chassis at that time? Wait...they didn't mass produce them. I'll keep trying

My frame is so old it's probably built by the company you're asking for, too bad I have no idea who the manufacturer is of my rail.
