A Weyersberg Bayonet, sweet. My first, like " real old" bicycle was from WKC (Weyersberg & Kirschbaum Cie.) . They originate in the mid-ages, made bicycles later on (mine is a ca.1900 girls, stock with a New Departure Mod.A) and they still exist today - nice :)...
While browsing for something else - these came up:
I ordered two pairs
and here they are:
In WHITE :) - the kind which seemed to be extinct ...
Since they werent available for well over two years I imagined that red or brown or black ones might arrive ... but they are the real deal...
Ok, got it...
"Schnell wie ein Pfeil - All Heil - Früh und spät, hoch zu Rad"
"Fast as an Arrow - All Hail - Early and Late, High on the Wheel"
"All Heil" is the old bicyclist greeting, could be translated "all safe and sound".
The phrase became distinct, presumably because famous Adolf...
I can't decipher the word in the center either, but so far:
"Schnell wie ein Pfeil".. can't read..." hoch zu Rad". German for:
Fast as an arrow... High on the wheel.
The bike looks a bit french to me ... freewheel and one one rim brake on the rear- fork crown and fittings look very frenchy , too. and the rims might be "chapeau gendarm" type - generally used in France from 1890s to 1930s. I'd estimate the bike to 1900 to 1915.
Hello Dear Cabers.
I purchased a TOC frame + front fork/handlebar + single front wheel (which is already dismounted), at an online auction ("M.J.Stasak 'Auctions). I have a hard time getting it shipped to Michigan - the auctioneer apparently doesnt do any shipping and I could not source any...
From a 1950 Express Catalog:
Your bike might be a Express Modell T (HB is same specs as T, but 26" wheels)
Mens Bicycle: Frame made of best precission steel tubing, outside soldering, lugged, "Double-Bell-Type" bottom bracket , screwed on chain wheel 1/2 x 1/8 with rolled-on edge for...
My current project is a Eclipse 1897 (I think) and I'm in need of a wheelset. or, I guess hubs would be sufficient, too - or just a hub.
The Eclispe hubs of that areas were quite a beauty: They took T-spokes, inserted into vertical slots:
Catalog 1897:
front hub, notches on the outer...
Like gkeep indicates: the rims look like clinchers, beaded tired. The front hub looks like on my G&J Rambler, so maybe G&J rims...
But the machine itself is certainly not a Rambler. ..
Nice and tall Monostay frame ! The crank set looks like "Fauber" I'd say. They had a Design-Patent on this 5-devided Star- Pattern.
I have seen this Fork Crown on a Butler, but there certainly were many others with that arch-type fork crown...

When forward pedaling the sleeve moves left and the knurling is compressed into the hub, the knurled surface is tapered and fits into another, negativ taper of the hub shell
