Crazy Bar Stem: Kulture Bicycle - Deninger Cycle Company

[New Mexico Brant]

This piece of literature has been for sale on Ebay for years; I just noticed one detail. What is the crazy stem on this bicycle?

Do you think that can be recreated using Hussey parts?

I am not sure, the lower stem looks like a quilled seat post. It looks similar to a Major Taylor type but not in a "sleak racy way."
A Hussey applied that way would seem fragile as hell. So many of them are broken-up as used in their normal position. I have an entire drawer of parts to prove that.

Artistic license? False advertising? If that forward part of the '7' is round like seat post riding that could be a death wish. Is the bottom name Deninger or Peninger Cycle Company? Wonder if there is a survivor out there somewhere???

But didn't Major Taylor race on a round section version.
Just a high rise clamp section on an adjustable stem?

Could be a variation/combo of a Hussey as @bentwoody66 suggested?

Hussey would of also been my first guess

Wow, that is awesome, I haven't seen them used that way. I love the CABE for what we learn!

Believe it or not that was one of mine once! Loved that bike!
Ideal also had some skin in the longneck game but there were other competitors willing to go out on a limb too

Hi All,

Jack Bradshaw's Patent from 1899 (and, in fact, he was Irish...)

He was a busy inventor, concerned with the novelties of the day, Bicycles, Acetylene lighting, Tyres, toilet cisterns....

Best Regards,
