Lux Low
Finally riding a big boys bike
I have this Truss frame and have had many frames with some distinct construction traits. The Fender bridges are Unique and made 3/8" tubing with clean attachment, Which is on the small side. The Bottom 2 stays attaching to the bottom bracket are oval, not round, which is not very common. Also the Arch Bar has a unique Block attaching the 2 bars. Tring to Identify the Actual manufacturer?
I do know quite a bit about this construction. EC Simmons Hardware Bikes have this Construction from my experience the Teens but possibly early 1900s and 1920s. I have also found a Original Early 1900 or teens Peerless with this construction Trait. From my research I know Colson made some EC Simmons Bicycles but think later than this trait. Colson uses a 3/8" straight tubing and oval bottom stays some ballooners ( Clipper & Bullnose ) which made Colson a suspect, but I have a Colson Silver Ring which is the earliest Colson I have had, and the construction is not anywhere the same as the manufacturer in question. My Main suspect is a True Michigan City Excelsior. I think Michigan City Excelsior made some EC Simmons Bicycles . This is where I have landed.
Can Anybody Confirm this construction trait or Manufacturer on a True Michigan City Excelsior?
Does anybody know who made Peerless Bicycles or is it the manufacturer in question “Peerless” ?
Does anybody have a Super Early Colson with this type Construction?
Has anybody seen this construction on other bikes that may clue us in.
I don’t think any of the references of the brands above have anything to do with Reconstituted Rollfast HP Snyder Ballooner Bikes. The Manufacture in question is from the wood Wheel Era.
