Jesse McCauley

McCauley Cycle Works
Here’s a bike I have been cleaning up for a week or so, I think it’s ready to show off a little.

Dated on the crankset 1895 but who knows.

Beautiful original paint & pins, it was covered in bird scat when I bought it so I was worried it would be completely corroded but overall it cleaned up well.

A few specialty features of the bike as I got it:
- Pneumatic saddle
- Thor seatpost coupling
- 2 part seatpost of unknown mfg
- “Pat Applied For” stamped chainring enlarger, 20 tooth from 17 tooth factory.
- Solo “The Gem” pedal, I happened to have the appropriate mate in rough shape

Neither chainwheel is very badly worn and there are a number of extra master links in the chain leading me to suspect this was for easy gear ratio adjustment.

The hubs were salvageable, not so for the set of G&J rims.

I may re-lace eventually but for now I added a set of wheels and tires I had stashed away that I thought would look the part.

Any thoughts on possible mfg would be welcomed.
