    I have the boys version of

    I have the boys version of the Rambler Scrambler. It was the first bike my parents bought me in '69.

    And yes it was Violet with the handle bars and seat identical to Toms bike.

    Unfortunately, I only have the frame, chain guard, part of the fork and the front wheel( with tire and tube that is still hoding air)

    Frame was badly repainted blue but the steering tube inside the head tube is Violet.

    I would like to rebuild if possible but I need alot of parts.

    Crank, pedals, rear wheel,chain, forks, fenders, seat and sissy bar, handlebars. 

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I found a reference

    I found a reference confirming at least one year of production for the Model F. The attached newspaper advertisement mentions both 1916 and the Model F (at $29). In hindsight, it makes sense that these would have been manufactured during the austerity of the Great War era. Older features such as the fender style and white tires may be attributable to a combination of wartime material shortages and the need to hit the lowest possible price point in order to provide economical transportation for workers involved in the war effort.
