Ed, @catfish, that bicycle is awesome ..... crazy seat post (what is it?), adjustable handlebars, rare pedals .... it has it all
is the whole frame nickle plated .... wow
I have to ask, how is the rear hub work? looks like the drive shaft mechanism/gear enters the hub ... never seen that before
does it have a badge? I am curious as to what the insert is for this bike
thanks for posting
Max
I've often wondered what color this Orient is ( far right ) Team photo. Orients have always been black but this one seems special. It could be white but since it is a b&w picture then it's impossible to tell. There is also a Cabinet Card of this racer showing him on that bike.
My guess is to find out the colors of the Morgan & Wright Team for 1896 and that may tell us the color of the bike.
