Well I finally got the seat on my 1912 model 87 today. This is Troxel Star that would have come originally with the bike. I am super pleased with the look. Just a few more parts for the bike and some TLC.
I had the unsprung version of that saddle on my Racer. Actually pretty comfortable, but the ancient stitching started to come apart so I went to a ubiquitous Brooks B17.

Yes, like dnc1 said above...................how tall is that frame !! It's at least the 24" but might be the 26" !! If it is the 26", I haven't seen many of those.

This is a 24” frame. I am 6’2” so I like the taller bikes. I have one other 24” and of course my 90b is 23”. I would love to find a 26” IJ racer eventually. I had a 20” once and I felt quite funny on the bike.
Thanks @anders1.
I have a 24" Raleigh and it looks bigger than mine; I guess the long head tube (steerer) and consequently different frame geometry makes it appear so large, and the lack of tyres I guess.
Tall people on small bikes always make me smile, modern frameset geometry can be quite comicall!
What front hub is on that wheelset?
