What about the brake arm pivot mounted on the handle bar. OH, I must be mistaken maybe it is a fishing pole holder or an American Flag holder bracket or something else.

So, put on your big boy panties and bring it to Copake swap meet for the real collectors to critique it for you.

  i got a $4,500 dollar offer yesterday don't need to go to copake to get "critiqued" and pay them 20% to sell my bike.

Show me another AS with rivets like that. Show me an picture of one since you guys have 100 years of experience you should surely have pictures of all these  1880's AS you buy and sell right? At WORST it's and 1883.

Funny a bunch of no it all telling me what i have but cant explain the riveted spokes that are clearly on this bike and were only on first year models for sure... Bike is heavy as hell like first years model.... Has 3 different patent dates on it meaning this could very well be the first years model and they only put patent dates on it when something is added to the bike meaning first years didnt come with brakes things could have been added in the following years that's why there are 3 patent dates listed on the bike and someone explain to me the rivitred spokes. I no what a rivet is that's a rivet had 2 "experts" look at it in person and confirmed those are rivets but your going to tell me with 3 pictures what i have stop you sound foolish and "later model" it's an 1880's model so stop following me around sites like a weirdo  claiming you no what i have when you clearly do not.
