Rick Wolfe has one of the earliest Hislop bikes 1890,s I know of and it is pretty neat. But I don't have a picture of it. Has a brake in the crank if my memory is correct.

By chance I happened to be driving past Victoria & Shuter today, so I stopped to take a pic. The Frans Diner is the spot where the Hyslop bldg stood. You can see signs for Massey Hall (music) and the Eaton's Centre.

so this article could confirm that they actually manufactured bicycles, and that the flu was actually strong enough in 1919 to kill you instantly!!

The fenders are the 1" drop side type. That is certainly the correct ring. As far as all other related parts are concerned, I will assemble these as close to what the catalogue description is. That's all I can do. It's going to be a representation, nothing more, but the correct chain ring will be important! The project will not more forward without it. As for the frame/truss, I am good with the Elgin of the period as a platform.

Cool project! Good for you. Canadian bikes are too often overlooked in the grand scheme of things based on low production and sparse population density. I myself am guilty of shifting ( no pun intended) my tastes to the more "spacelike" American ballooners, whereas I focused on CCM and all things Canadian ( see pic) in my early collecting days. Cheers!
