Antique 1888 Springfield Roadster Safety High Wheel Bicycle. Antique Springfield Roadster Safety Hi Wheel bike pretty sure from 1888 but may be 1889. This Bike is a nice representation of the last of the High Wheel / Penny Farthing / Ordinary era. Safety means the bike has a rake and consider safer the Original High Wheel / Ordinary bikes. Pedals and cranks work as a treadle, which is a pumping motion more than circular motion. Definitely advancements for the times, you can also coast on this bike. Springfield Roadster is the beginnings / related or becomes Lovell Diamond and further Iver Johnson Bicycles. I got this bike form a Large Iver Johnson collection buyout and have just been appreciating it. Bike is as received, is restored, seems good, but not my restoration work. This Ordinary is quite a bit out of my knowledge range and not my cup of tea so offering her up. Additional info and pictures are on the luxlowsite. The wheel and Tire rubber tip to rubber tip is 50 1/2 assuming a 50′ wheel bike, the treadle action is movable to accommodate multiple size riders. The Bike has a Great Look definitely worthy of a Collection. Rate Varies in relation to how the item ships.
