What I am thinking with the pedals is to take the "tread stip" off.... straighten it out flat.... pick the best side and have it scanned copied to the other side and water jet in new steel.

It looks like the seat collar unscrews- that looks like a hole for a pin spanner, with a little wear from tightening it. But it sill looks like the seatpost has sunk down. If you go into production with the water jet tread strips I think you'd have a lot of customers- at least I'd want a few!

Ok, pedals. Now I am confused. I have been told that the pedals are and are not original!! Seems that Pierce used a couple of different Star pedals. In the 1902 catalogue it says for the chainless cushion frame bike has "Star rat trap" with option for "Star rubber". The chain racing Pierce in the same catalogue has "Star racing rat trap" listed for that bike. So i think mine are the Star racing pedals. If that's the case I might keep them and fix them up as there were available in the correct year on that brand of bike so it is possible that they were a period upgrade.
Thoughts?

My catalogs show that Star Rubber and Star #4 racing pedals were available on Pierce cycles.

Great, are you able to photograph of scan that catalogue? I want all the information I can get so I get things right!

I'll get you a screen shot of the information. If I don't do it in a couple of days, remind me.

I was surprised to find a APR 27.97 patent date on the bell that was on the bike... I had assumed it was a later addition but maybe not. I cleaned the silver paint off and under some slight remains of what looked like nickel plating the bell is not brass but looks like German silver. It still works too! Good American made stuff
