Just got this bike, and hopefully the pictures downloaded. The best I can tell it looks to me like a 1885-1888 Columbia Light Roadster? I have never seen the tires/rims like this before on any kind of bike. The tires are bolted to the rim. About every 8 or 9 inches there is a screw thru the tire and bolted with a nut to the rim. Is that common?? With all the screw heads even with the rubber surface, it makes the bike ride slicker then snot. The brake lever has a bad and broken weld on the handlebar. The mounting step weld looks cracked and bad. The only markings/number I see is the “50” stamped at the top of the head. Thanks
for your help.
