Ca. 1900 Pierce Cushion Chainless

[Jesse McCauley]

Bought this out of NY this week, some of you may have seen it on Craigslist.

It arrived in kinda rough shape but I have been working on it for a couple days.

The drivetrain was stuck but I got it fully rotating.
It had a broken headset race but fortunately I found a match in my parts stash and replaced it.
The stem was broken off in the steer tube, I managed to remove all but a section of the wedge.

I need a 1” diameter seatpost coupling.
I’d love to find a gear cover & it would obviously look killer with a leaf spring fork but I don’t think I can afford the bill.

Wow that’s a great find! Looks like a 24” seat tube? Nice bike.

I'd say that's a top ten Craigslist find !

I bought the carcass of a women’s chainless below it as well.
I’ve been gathering Columbia chainless parts for a project that may or may not happen so it could be time for a chainless parts sale soon!

nice bike.
the name of the model with the ND hub is called the American Pan-Am .... the hub was optional.
mine are 1898, do you have the serial #
the gear cover is different in size for the ND hub and the other hub available for that year, making the search even more difficult.
I know the gear covers were recast, so they are out there!

difficult to ride, need to find a nice flat spot or your leg muscles will be sore.

the Columbia ladies bike has the Trophy fork, it narrows down the YOM to 2 years (1898-1899) if I remember correctly

I don't know if you bought the sidewalk bicycle as well,
there is a member (Casper) on here looking for some, might help him out if you want to sell it
