Hi Scott - What is the serial no on the chained cushion?.....lovely bike. Now I know what mine should look like. I think it is a cool idea if everyone would add their pics of their Pierces to this thread.

I've got 2 - "Special Racer" Pierce Track bikes coming in to the collection soon. These are a couple pics I took
when I was there that show the serial numbers. One is full nickel and big tube frame - other smaller tube in blk.
I figured the nickel was about 1899 and not sure on the blk - early 1900's anyway.

[redline1968]

Ok I read this and realized that mine is not on the list. So here are some pics of the #'s and details that I could get. The bike is hanging and pics are tough to get where it's at. I believe it's post 1908 and later. There numbers are weird there are alpha numeric with a X and a B in it. It's 21 inch and no fenders or provisions for fenders and a collared seat tube the rims are not correct for it the chain doesn't fit the gear.
