1901 Cleveland catalog and Garford 284 saddle images

[rusty_apache]

I am having a reproduction Garford saddle made by Paul Watson in Australia, so I am trying to figure out what saddle was typically used by Cleveland in 1901.

They used a Garford 284 model on the 1903 Cleveland so I am looking for Garford catalog images from that time period in order to can get a close as possible.
Any help is appreciated!

He is also going to reproduce this frame bag as well so I can save this original for display only.

The 1901 Cleveland Catalogue lists the Wheeler Extra as the standard saddle. What model is your Cleveland? Here is the saddle page.

That is great news because Paul reproduces the Wheeler as well! The Cleveland that I am entrusted with is a C-1 beveled gear chainless.

I saw an example of Paul's work in London on New Years Day.
It was on the "Marriott & Cooper" tandem tricycle (1897) I had the pleasure of riding alongside.
His work is superb.....

I'm hoping to get a saddle from him for my "National", one day.

Very nice! I have a nice Garford for my National If I were to ever take it off the wall and ride it a little. The original one is in amazing condition.

Paul makes some lovely Troxel racing saddles too.

Here are his Garford and Wheeler saddles.

Thanks for the reference photographs. A Wheeler will look great on the Cleveland and I already have a reproduction Garford on my American Cycle MFG Co. Wasp and a Hunt on my Century Marathon. If you don’t mind I would like to send these photos to Paul for reference.
