1900 Tribune Model 57. 1900 was first year of the American Bicycle Company of which Tribune became a part of. Tribune did not offer a chainless prior to this year so ABC probably took the Columbia chainless drive and frame then added Tribune details like fork, handle bars/stem, seat post, pedals, front hub, etc.
