Finally riding a big boys bike
My Holy Grail bike has for years been the Pierce chainless with full suspension.
For many years I have been looking for the right bike, at the right price that needs restoration.
Now I own one! A 1902 with early forks (without a metal brace) and a rear hub only used 1902.
It needs some parts and LOTS of work to make it the bike of my dreams!
But the bones are there and I can rebuild anything.
The bike is still in the USA getting prepared for shipping to New Zealand, so at this stage I am hunting up information, contacts with people who know these bikes well and looking for some parts.
I want to restore it to jewel like new perfection with all the correct parts where I can.
First question for those who know..... What type of rims did these bikes come with new?? Wood or steel? What's the closest I can get to original rims?
Regards
