What is your oldest bicycle?

[Major Taylor Archive]

Clean indeed - and those Racycle sprockets are so cool.

What's the story with the dragon ? Is that from a Racycle catalog ? One of the most awesome graphics I've seen for a bicycle company !

I was wondering the same thing. Larmo, what's up with that - is it from a catalog?

Someone sent the graphic to me. It might be from the Nostalgic site, but it would make a cool t-shirt!

The sprocket shown is a Roadster type, also used on the racer. The Pacemaker has the huge one

and the frame to accommodate it.

Is Andrew's 1869 the oldest?

 

[Wing Your Heel]

1886 X frame

1886 Crossframe

Unidentified. Know it's first year because no stays or supports (or, more important, fittings for them) anywhere. Plain bearings.

Purchased the period saddle separately for £200. Fitted it to the bike. Carefully wheeled the bike out of my van to Afriston Clergy House for the photoshoot. After photos, couldn't resist jumping on and riding it back to the van. Snap. Saddle top broke in half

- Does an 1869 project count or does it have to be on the road?
