Hello

Great thread !!! I have a 1905 Reading Standard Thoroughbred motorcycle it has a BB hub. I’m always looking for any info on early rear hubs.

Currently I’m lookin for Model B parts. I have unidentified early belt drive clincher rim attached to a New Departure Model B empty hub. Any help will be appreciated.

PS I’m looking for parts for my 1905 Reading Standard. Need pedal cranks, rat trap pedals, eccentric, new departure 36 spoke front hub, gas tank, battery box, coil, Thor carb and Thor rear hub, Thor front hub, fenders too lol

Good luck - @Barnegatbicycles is the only person I know with a Model B and thats only because it was mine.
 
Any idea of year of this early Corbin? Will get better pics. Someone thought 1905-6 because of small size chain req. early
Indians used a lot of these I believe perhaps Thor,Yale Merkel also but Indian was primary customer I understand. Would like ads/ literature to nail down years used thanks

That's an excellent question. One end looks (mostly) standard New Departure Triplspeed, the other end is nothing I've ever seen before. Maybe somebody was working on a three wheeler? I'd guess it's a prototype of some kind.
