Winchester Bicycle

[Dan the bike man]

Does anyone have info on Winchester bikes? The man I bought this from thought 1898 +/- Does this company have anything to do with the gun company?

Thanks!

That is a late 30s early 40s Snyder Built bike. (D.P. Harris / Rollfast).

Thank you for the information. I thought it had the "look" of a much older bike. He did a little research on The Wheelman and said the company was in business late-1800s - early 1900's. I had no idea, so thank you.

I second Catfish's statement, you have a late 1930's early 1940's Snyder Built bike. Not even close to 1890's-1900's.

look at some bikes from the 1890s , compare to your bike and you will see the difference , especially the way that handlebar ,attaches , , look at the pedals ,,vs, an early set of pedals , there are many ways to show the era of your bike , goggle search 1890s winchester bicycle , images , not an expert or know it all ,

Sorry Guys, wasn't thinking Saturday I guess...I have 1890's bikes and should've realized the guy was wrong. Duh on my part. Thanks for the replies, I see it now.
