Handle Bar Horder, your name is right ... wow, impressive collection. But with your first picture, you killed your post. I don't think anyone can compete. :)

good info, always interesting to learn about the history of these companies and how they intertwine I just learned yesterday that the same maker made the porcelein inserts for Orient and Iver, and now this info on Lovell and Iver here is a picture of the head badge on my Iver/Lovell or...

Sprocket looks like one I have on a Emblem built bike I have, all the kidney beans shapes are the same

Sorry that I can't help on the YOM. I am not very good at research as I lack the time and literature, I just have a lot of bikes to compare to. My ladies bike is the one with the close serial number and the green badge. Almost all of the features are identical to your bike.

Cool. Didn't even know there was such a job title. Do you know someone? I have an Iver badge to improve.

I would not take what I said to be certain. There are guys here with a lot more knowledge than me that might have some input. I am only comparing to my bikes.

A good local machinist or welder can fix your fork. The fender doesn't belong with your bike and the other part is a chain guard off a ladies bicycle. You should keep the wheel off the bike for now, everytime you move the bike, you risk tearing the other side of the fork off. It's already torn.

Here are my 2 inserts.

Any welding shop or machine shop close to you should be able to repair that fork, i would only bring them the fork, keep everything else at home safe.

I have the same bike, smaller frame size, maybe a year newer, few differences my headbadge porcelein insert is white and red and says Orient Light Roadster I also have the ladies version, all same characteristics, with a serial number a few # higher than yours, also with a B on the steel insert...

This is another long shot, something I have been looking for a long time. A complete TOC (pre-1900) wheel set and block chain - 28" wood rims in good rideable, unrestored condition - matching, front and rear hub set - both hubs need to be as wide as possible - rear hubs needs to be block chain...

found a crank set that I will be able to cut and weld if all come to fail but still looking looking for the ultimate find, that will fit like a glove!

nice bike, I really like the tires, what are they?

I have a question. Maybe someone can help. How do you bring back the paint like this? The pre and post pics of this bike are incredible. Never would of known that it could look like that. What is the trick?

nice, I like those wheels, very nice ... I want

I missed out, if you or anyone ever find another, please PM me, I have been looking for one of those for years!!! or if someone that bought one would like to resell, PM me

that olive paint is beautiful, that patina can't be replicated, GLWS this had to be an expensive bike to build, lots of machine work

the truss build is different than on my Emblem Speedwell truss, but the seat post tube connection to the rear stay (how the seat post bolt is) and the rear drop-out with the center chain tightener is exactly like my Emblem Truss Speedwell my fork and sprocket are totally different

now that I read the post over, my response did not make much sence, and wasn't pertinent at all .... sorry for that don't know why I was thinking the rear peg!!!

This is a long shot, something I have been looking for, for years A complete TOC (pre-1900) 3-piece crank assembly but with very specific measurements. needs to be complete - center shaft (as shown) to accommodate a *** 3 1/4" wide bottom bracket (can be a tad longer, but not shorter) -...

most of the original TOC bikes I have found over the years had only (1) "coasting peg" as opposed to (2). is it due to the fact that they were actually used to mount the bicycle and that you rarely mount a bike as if you are mounting a horse like in as old Western movie. or is it due to the fact...

The whole seat is Bakelite? how cool is that!

oh ... wow all these bikes are amazing that Twin 60 is a dream, and those twin flex as well

good job on the restoration, beautiful, not an easy restoration to do, and most definitely expensive to do. GLWS

I don't know about value, but condition is rough if ND model C was original, it could date it 1927-1933 but try to find a nice set of 28" rims and tires, and some vintage pedals. It would make a nice rider and improve the overall look of the bicycle IMO Nice typo in the 1901 ad : The Bycicle Man

lots of great info here. anyone have a collection of Rat-Trap pedals? it would be a great collection to have!!

do you have the hardware for the cranks (2 peaked ones)?

I have the Victoria pedals on my Victoria (ladies), thanks for posting the catalog page, wasn't sure they were 100% correct for the bike

nice bike i really like the look, good choice of saddle and handlebars IMO COOL

yes, this would be a good candidate for a full restoration IMO
