Kool!

so what do you know about the hudson racer?

 

[bricycle]

Same as Miami bikes I believe. hoofhearted, chitown and fordsnake are the resident go-to's

 

[locomotion]

very kool, except those handlebars look out of place, but the "patina" seems all even!!!
don't know anything about it unfortunately can't help

do you have a close-up of the first 6" of the down tube? why does it look thicker?

This bike is a Bean -Chamberlain Mfg from Hudson MI, the company was sold to Miami around 1909.

well with a bent down tube and a replaced front wheel and hub
this bike was involved in an accident
unfortunate, brings the value way down

well if you say it that right
thats your opinion
but real person rode and actually raced the bike and used it
so it is really kooler ..than non used collections ..
real bikers respect battel wounds
i guess if you never raced
u will never know..
