Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Offering a unique piece of history. This is a no badge custom chrome trick bike used in the 1890-'s -1915 by WC Hoefler who traveled the world performing tricks on this bike, a high wheeler and a uni-cycle. I owned the uni, I acquired it with this bike, it was sold recently. The rims are beautiful and straight wooden with extra thick spokes, and extenders on the hubs, but no name visible on the hubs, maybe if tires were unmounted from the bike and hubs looked at more closely a name can be found? There are no pedals, the sprocket and cog are small in size perhaps to maintain a certain cadence while doing tricks, seat is well worn and now a bit torn! As a bonus and it should convey to the new owner is a silk gold costume worn by Hoefler, the costume is also well worn especially in the area the seat would have made contact, see pictures, some brass buttons on the sleeves still there, its a cool outfit, there's an copy of an article from Home Magazine from Rochester NY with a few photo's on one of his his high wheelers performing tricks and 2 original pictures on another bicycle.
