1920s Gentlemans Elswick Popular Truss Light Roadster Vintage Antique Bicycle

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.

1900 BSA FITTINGS MACHINE Brakes Bowden rear/Thumb Lever front Vintage Bicycle

April 23, 2020fittingsbicycle, bowden, brakes, fittings, front, lever, machine, rearthumb, vintageadmin

Over the next month I’ll advertise a variety of vintage bicycles and you are. Welcome to make (realistic) offers on them. 1900 BSA FITTINGS MACHINE. With interesting brake set up. Bowden rear + Thumb lever front. This BSA Fittings Machine is in good working order. Cosmetically it has a fine layer of rust which could be rubbed down to provide a bare metal finish. It has all the BSA fittings you would expect on such a bicycle, including the’snail cams’ on the rear axle, and the chainwheel and steering head display the BSA logo. This chainwheel design was used from 1899 to 1904, and the brakes are typically early 1900s. Brakes were still mostly experimental around 1900, and this set up is typical of the various configurations available before rod brakes were introduced and became the industry standard. The combination seen here provides one of the most effective braking arrangements available at the time. The Bowden thumb lever, as its title suggests, is pressed down with the thumb to pull the brake stirrup up onto the rim. The handlebar lever for the rear brake is connected by Bowden cable to the rear Bowden rim brake. The Bowden was the first brake of its kind, setting the design for future cycle braking technology. They were only used on bicycles for a few years before being adapted for use on the new-fangled motor bicycles. Rear Bowden brake fittings are not universal due to the variety in design of rear seat stays, so this example would have been supplied to BSA to sell as an option on their fittings bicycles.

1880’s 36 JUNIOR HIGH WHEEL PENNY FARTHING TYPE ANTIQUE BICYCLE

April 22, 20201880's1880s, antique, bicycle, farthing, high, junior, penny, type, wheeladmin

This is a very rare survivor as it is a JUNIOR Penny Farthing Type HIGH WHEELER. It’s not a little bike – just not the huge size generally thought of in this style. The front wheel is 36 inches tall so it’s about 3/5ths size. Seat has been recovered with black leather. The bike was repainted long ago with Black Lacquer. Not sure of date of manufacture but castings and parts look to be late 19th century. Cab Rubber Tires and Cone’s instead of bearings indicate the age. This bike takes some skill at first to get up and going but the bike works fine. It’s up to you. Use it in your act or decorate your loft or business space. It’s Cool and priced for you. Not sure of the brand as the badge was removed for painting over 30 years ago, then misplaced. This bike hung on the wall of a bicycle shop for over 45 years. Now it’s time to have a new owner. I have many more photos but can’t seem to add more. Message me and I’ll send more.
