Board for buying and selling Wheelmen goods and services. / 1890 LOZIER & YOST SPRUNG FORK HARD TIRE SAFETY GIANT NO. 4
« Last post by mike cates 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.

« Last post by mike cates on March 12, 2020, 11:38:01 PM »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,

« Last post by mike cates on March 09, 2020, 11:26:04 AM »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.

General discussions on Wheelmen topics. / LAW head badge on a bike
« Last post by robike on March 08, 2020, 10:02:21 PM »Just curious as to how many headbadges anyone has ever seen custom made for a wheelmen member on a bike. This is on a custom made tandem I purchased some years ago. Looks like made by a jeweler or someone professional, as it is very nice and has the wheelmens name and his LAW number on it.
