1901-1904 Racycle

[Tall]

Happy to share pics of the bike I bought at a recent estate sale in NJ. Its a one owner bike and mostly original. Ive been consulting with Ward (wcben) and he has been tremendously helpful and gracious. My plan is to disassemble, clean thoroughly, reassemble, add tires and ride if possible and hang on the wall if not.

Hello Tall, South Jersey farm boy here. PM me if you are south and like to talk antique bicycles.

Hey, Wayne. North Jersey. The conversation would be all one sided as you know antique bikes and I am just learning.

Great original Racycle complete with script chain!

Fantastic find! What a great survivor. Clean it very carefully and slowly. When you pull out the seat post look dow in the frame with a flashlight in case a build sheet for the bike was stashed in there. WOW!

Looks like a clean, regrease and tyres and wheel check is all that's required.
Lovely, really lovely!
Stick another saddle on it and ride it as often as you can.
Would be a real shame to hang something like that on the wall!
