Board for buying and selling Wheelmen goods and services. / 1890 LOZIER & YOST SPRUNG FORK HARD TIRE SAFETY GIANT NO. 4
« on: March 12, 2020, 11:46:08 PM »
I am doing the final assembly on a restoration of an 1890 LOZIER & YOST GIANT NO. 4 hard tire safety. It features a unique articulated front fork with Bolte action springs that can be adjusted to the rider's weight and/or road conditions. Ball bearings to hubs, pedals and steering head. 30" wheels with 7/8" rear and 3/4" front red rubber tires. Saddle (not shown installed yet) has fresh leather. New stainless steel v-spokes. Rims are excellent originals.
I will get completed photos posted soon but it is for Sale now prior to it's final re assembly.
I have included a sample photo if you don't know what this very rare bicycle looks like and there are not many in existence compared to the many sprung fork Victors and Columbias out there.
This is an experienced collector's collectible and a key piece for any world-class antique bicycle collection.
I haven't seen a bicycle like this offered at Copake Antique Bicycle Auction 2020.

Thanks Dave. Have you also checked the serial number against the list of Columbia bicycles recorded so far for dating the bicycle? If it is not on that list please list it to keep thing up to date.
Thanks,

I have a LAW BICYCLE catalog in the mass of original bicycle catalogs I am selling. There are some very obscure brands in my inventory that are not documented in most antique bicycle references.
Email me for a PDF that I can send you to see listings of what I have for sale as collectors are now doing and are getting RARE finds to compliment their rare bicycles.

« on: March 06, 2020, 11:52:32 PM »
Lorne,
I have just found a original hub lamp bearing but cannot understand your description that if a 1 3/4" width like your photo example shown is too narrow to fit, why would a 1 5/8" or wider (which is narrower yet and a wider one could include a 1 3/4" width like your example) work for you?

Board for buying and selling Wheelmen goods and services. / FOR SALE - 1884 56" Columbia Expert High Wheel Bicycle Serial # 1965
« on: February 23, 2020, 09:11:43 PM »
I have what I'm estimating to be a 1884 56" Columbia Expert high wheel bicycle Serial #1965 in very straight and older restoration condition. Original dust shield with patent dates and original keeper clip at bottom.
Seat is incorrect but looks good and is useable. Original flat seat spring has slotted friction set screw with hex jam nut at center of keeper bracket. Single screw with hex nut steering adjustment (missing dome nut that would have been above hex nut). Tubular rear forks. Large flanged front hub. Missing all brake hardware and wire pants guard. Straight nickel plated handle bars with nice Art Hart made pear grips with nickel plated ferrules.
Very good rider with nice original solid crescent rims and true running wheels, all original spokes and new Hammel red rubber tires. Nice Columbia script ball bearing pedals and fixed oblong mounting step with two mounting screws top and bottom of step.
$5000 and I can ship at additional cost for crating and shipping cost.

PS: Dave where does this serial number fall in your Columbia records to better dial this bike in as to manufacturing date?

Dick,
I have an original 1902 HARTFORD catalog with a beautiful and ornate colored cover which is rare for that time period if you or the new owner of your nicely restored machine is interested.
It would compliment it perfectly.

Board for buying and selling Wheelmen goods and services. / Elliott Self Oiling Block Chain
« on: February 03, 2020, 11:47:15 PM »
Here is a original and useable one inch pitch block chain of the Elliott Self Oiling pattern. It will need oiling and freeing up of some links but nothing to be concerned about for installation on a rideable bicycle. It was used on Elliott Hickory and Columbia Cushion Tire and Pneumatic Tire Safeties and other makes. It is a uniquely designed chain in that there is a piece of felt pressed into a through hole in each block that holds drops of oil to continually lubricate the pins of each block link (see 2nd photo down showing felt in through hole between side plate ends). Elliott's claim is that the chain could be oiled at far less intervals than a standard designed block chain. The blocks are flat top & bottom and the side plates are symmetrical profile varying from the block profile. The block width is .438" and distance between plates is .455". It's length is 46" pin-to-pin and has the original slotted and threaded master link pin and nut. These chains are hard to find in useable condition.

Getting out all your requests for catalogs to you and still finding more catalogs, ad's and bicycle component manufacturers to the industry(frames, tires, saddles, wheels, chains, spokes, rims, handlebars, etc).
Keep your requests coming as this is a LOT of historical information that needs to accompany your bicycles or be in your library.
