Over the next month I’ll advertise a variety of vintage bicycles and you are. Welcome to make (realistic) offers on them. 1920s Gentlemans Elswick Popular Truss Light Roadster. RARE SURVIVOR, READY TO RIDE. Ladies & Gents versions in. The crossed tubes of an Elswick patent truss frame, produced by the company from 1892/1893 onwards, were claimed to give greater rigidity to a bicycle. Apparently the direct strain from head to bracket was dealt with more thoroughly and strains from twisting were also combated, creating an infinitely more rigid frame. Whether it improved the bicycle or not, there was a good case for creating unique features in bicycles so they stood out in the crowd and attracted extra attention from the cycling press. Elswick’s twisted down tubes becsme their signature feature. Frame strength was a key issue of the day: frames were getting lighter by the year, and cycle enthusiasts were keen to put new designs through their paces to find their stress points. As well as crossframes, many of the top manufacturers were adding extra tubes to their diamond frame bikes to add psychological strength to the machine, ie to make it appeal to riders who felt they needed a stronger frame on their bike: large bikes had two top tubes, Royal Enfield was successful with their Girder frames, and Premier used an extra tube in the opposite direction to the Girder. Elswick did also try out the American Iver Johnson patent design, described by them as a truss-tube, but also known as an arch-frame. The Popular Truss twisted down tube design is featured on both the Gentlemen’s diamond frame machine and Ladies’ loopframe. This rare Elswick Popular Truss is in an older restoration in good condition and ready to ride. More photos and details at the Online Bicycle Museum. OWNER: The Online Bicycle Museum.

Over the next month I’ll advertise a variety of vintage bicycles and you are. Welcome to make (realistic) offers on them. 1902 ROYAL ENFIELD ROADSTER. Bowden cable-operated rear rim brake. ORIGINAL PALMER BEADED EDGE TYRE. A historic bicycle contemporary with the first Royal Enfield motorcycles. I obtained this Royal Enfield from a closed-down museum: it was missing mudguards, so I fitted replacements. The rear Bowden brake, introduced on Royal Enfields in 1901, is an attractive feature – it’s similar but smaller than the rear Bowden rim brakes used on early motorcycles. That and the inverted brake levers give it the appearance of a scaled-down Royal Enfield motorcycle. It has been mechanically restored but left in its original cosmetic condition, and it’s ready to ride apart from the fabulous original Palmer tyre on the front, which holds air but should be replaced for regular use.

Over the next month I’ll advertise a variety of vintage bicycles and you are. Welcome to make (realistic) offers on them. 1897 HUMBER COVENTRY Light Roadster. Humber’s 1897 merger with the French companies Clement, Gladiator, De Dion Bouton and Metropole turned the company into an even larger international concern, and gave them a foothold in the emerging motorcycle and automobile industries. They had factories at Beeston, Wolverhampton and Coventry. Coventry machines were the company’s cheaper models, built to cater for customers who did not require the latest Humber features such as duplex front forks and twin chainstays that were used on the Beeston models. I’ve determined the model from the 1898 Humber catalogue description, which says that the Coventry’Light Roadster’ had 1 1/2″ wheels (while the’Model A Roadster’ had 1 3/4″). This example is an excellent original survivor, and ready to jump on and ride. More photos and details at the Online Bicycle Museum. OWNER: The Online Bicycle Museum.
