It seems the OP is trying to get information about an old tricycle.


(08/18 0823)When I posted this yesterday the OP's text was not showing, although the post seemed to have dozens of views.

Very cool chain ring.
Do I detect a glimpse of Ted Williams Free Spirit Blue under all that red spray paint?

+1 on Ted Williams.

The 228-45912 on the head tube is a Sears product number. The other number is the frame manufacturers serial number.

This frame looks repainted.

Here is another Sears adult tricycle.
