Pope Columbia shaft drive

[Barnegatbicycles]

I agree the head set, headbadge, curve of the rear stays up to the seat post and rear hub hanger piece are all later features. So the hub is not correct to the bike.

was thinking 1898-1899...not sure maybe it's a prototype...wouldn't that be something?

I'm thinking about 10 years later. Prototype? Highly doubtful

Hi I looked closer today and found 150 on the badge. Hope that helps date it.

Model 150 is 1905.

Model 150 was also sold in 1906.

If anyone wants a key to the columbia chainless bikes just let me know and I can send you a copy. This is the version that was posted at the late, lamented First Flight Bikes website.

Hello Andrew, I would like one. I have a male Columbia chainless that I am restoring. Thanks.
