I think clear coating it was absolutely the right thing to do. It looks beautiful. All bare metal is now rust free and preserved. Not only am I happy with the clearcoat but if I ever find myself with another Pierce or antique bicycle I will do this again. 100%

What do you guys think of the cork gaskets I made? I gonna run grease instead of gear oil. I also did a urethane 2 parts clear coat over the original paint to seal it and preserve it for another 100 years

I was going to color match and repaint, but every restor'er knows original paint is worth more anyway of the week than matched paint.
I think I will seal it with urethane clear to preserve it. So it will last another 100 years.

The black Pierce chainless 1910 on nostalgic.net is with out a doubt powdercoated. I have much experience with powdercoat and also 2 stage and 3 stage paint. Powdercoat is thicker and much more durable material, if it didn't hurt his valuation, maybe it won't hurt mine too. All the Indian and...
Rather than hit this with powder or paint, I think I might urethane clear coat it, auto body style. To seal the patina
What do you guys think?

Here's some pics guys, I was able to get all that green off.
Bright carmine looks great. Good patina. In areas you can see the beautiful brass brazing.
I also found another number stamp under the rear shock mount. Has 1 and 6

I also noticed my front wheel hub is a new departure model M
Which didn't come out until much later.
Also the mount that holds the rear shock has 1 and 6 stamped into each bracket underneath

Any input guys? I see these wright and Brooke's style seats on ebay. Will one of these pass the buck?
I see the troxel seat I currently have is incorrect since Google says the company wasn't even started until 1915

So maybe my troxel seat may be original? Obviously it did not come on the bike, but maybe the dealer swapped it out?

Thx freqman1 I'm guessing "bright carmine" is that color red. Awesome pal. My thoughts were this baby was gonna be black, but looks like I'm going bright carmine, wood rims, and white tires. Unless u guys have any thought?
Here's 1 I only have have one original tire.
