75% sure this is a Loomis Light Weight from Boston circa 1913? The BB Shell is from Peter Forge of Somerville who is still in business, still making Bike parts!

I was on the hunt for a long time trying to find one for my 1985 Merckx CE, that I might run compact gearing on a crank that looked more or less the part. It's still the goal, though I've pretty much forgotten about it.

But seriously, as pretty as Albert's bikes are, they ride even better than they look.

An easier option is a Victory or Triomphe...they had a 116 BCD and smaller rings for them do exist.

It survived several race crashes way back in the early days. Could use fresh paint some day being 30+ years old.
