the somewhat less than famous ARROW bicycle company

so i've been riding a tall (26") Arrow bicycle for maybe 10-12 years now, and have probably asked 25 to 50 people a year if they ever heard of the company i ride. no one to date has had a clue. at today's (3/9/13) bike swap i asked about 10 more people, including the guys over at working bike. just more head shakes. does anyone out there know who Arrow (made in USA) bicycle co. was???

thanx

norman

Can you post a picture? Maybe Arrow was a store brand but was manufactured by a bike maker. How old to you think the bike is?

I once saw a bike with the decal label of Arrow and Antler and in passing, thought it was a UK bike (the bike could have been yours....on Milwaukee Avenue).
