Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Parts and 1892 STAR catalog WANTED for a 1892 STAR lever driven safety bicycle (some parts may interchange from high wheel or safety STARS)
1) Square threaded spoke nuts that fit inside the grooves of the rear wheel hub flanges.
(2) Flat spring steel foot lever return springs that coil up inside driving drums on each side of rear wheel OR who makes these flat return springs? Or if anyone can measure the width, thickness and length of their original springs and email me photos and dimensions.
(3) A saddle and/or the cradle springs/brackets as shown in attached photos.
(4) An 1892 H.B. Smith Machine Co., Smithville, New Jersey STAR original bicycle catalog or copies of covers and pages would be fine.
Keep on the lookout for me at swaps, shows, or in your literature, spare parts or projects that will never get done.
Will buy outright OR have lots of bicycling items to trade?
