Wow! This post is an incredible find for me. Thank you for sharing this. This bike was designed by my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather Ernest D. Kenyon. Our family is currently looking for one of these first generation bikes, as it has a huge sentimental value to us. Surprisingly, the company that ultimately took over the Kenyon Bicycle Mfg. Co. is still in business today known as Barr Bikes. https://www.barrbike.com/articles/our-history-pg182.htm

Here's a picture of Ernest D. Kenyon:

Very cool family connection!!
I bought and worked on this bike because I was impressed by it and I knew it deserved it, I don't need to keep it forever.
I PM'd you, we can talk about the potential of reuniting this bike with the family.
