Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I am currently doing the final assembly on the restoration of an 1890 LOZIER & YOST GIANT NO. 4 hard tire safety. It features a unique articulated front fork with Bolte action springs that can be adjusted to the rider's weight and/or road conditions. Ball bearings to hubs, pedals and steering head. 30" wheels with 7/8" rear and 3/4" front red rubber tires. Saddle (not shown installed yet) has fresh leather. New stainless steel v-spokes are laced into excellent original rims. Chain guard and all brake linkage (not shown) will also be re assembled as well.
I will get completed photos posted soon but it is for Sale now prior to it's final re assembly.
I have included sample photos prior to it's restoration/re assembly if you don't know what this very rare bicycle looks like and there are not many in existence compared to the many sprung fork Victors and Columbias out there.
I haven't seen a bicycle like this offered this year at the upcoming Copake Antique Bicycle Auction 2020.
This is an experienced collector's collectible and a key piece for any world-class antique bicycle collection.
$18,000 Plus Shipping Cost. I can box or crate and I sell world wide.
