Cleveland model 101

Hello

I started the cleanings.
I'm not a museum, so I want my bycyckes to ride. I know that disassembling one bicycle like this is a very responsible think, I will do the best I can.

Some photos

One home made video with the gears system working

That is super cool. It is in such good shape. Hard to believe it has almost no wear.

That is a very interesting bike. That gearing is quite a feat of engineering. That video really helps to understand it. Thanks for sharing.

I'm surprised how simple the 2 speed hub is, wonder why they didn't catch on.

Hello

Thanks for your feedback. To me is important know how the thinks work, so I like to see videos and photos. I do the same to the others I like to myself.
You know that I'm from Portugal, here American bicycles are very very rare, I like American bicycles but around 1900, I love the mechanical solutions. I have the Columbia model 50 shaft drive, and now this Cleveland, I'm in love with American bicycles, so different so genius ....

Today I'm post two photos of duck brake, patent 1897. I'm in love.

I hope you enjoy

Best regards

Hello

I'm waiting for the wood rims for a long period. This rims are made in Italy by order and hand made, and they are 28 1 1/2. Because are made by order take longer. I said that I want my bikes to ride, so I buy this new wood rims, the rest I want to preserve.

I still looking for a pedals.

In a few days I put more photos.
