Blue Streak
Wore out three sets of tires already!
Have not been able to find anything that looks like the name badge in photo. It does not appear to be one of the larger volume nationally sold makers. There were lots of small regional bicycle manufacturers in late 1890's. Details on the four similar bicycles in the photo indicate no earlier than 1899. Will only know for sure what make they are if someone can ID the name badge.
Seat post binder system shows up in a lot of ads during 1898-99. Handle bar stem mounting system fairly common up until around 1900.
Front sprocket does look like the Fauber pattern that was filed for patent November 26, 1898. I do not know how long they offered this pattern:
From a Fauber discussion on CABE:
Similar fork crown and legs start showing up on 1898-99 bicycles:
1899 Patee:
1899 Vim:
1899 Fowler:
1899 Pathfinder:
1899 Alcazar:
1899 Manson:
