Board for buying and selling Wheelmen goods and services. / Re: WANTED TO BUY ~ BEARING FOR A HUB LAMP
« Last post by mike cates 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?

Enjoy this short clip of Joff Sommerfield's trip featuring the Wheelmen Annual Meet in Waukesha.  Randy, Amy, Dick and I had a great time riding with Joff from Milwaukee to Waukesha.  Wonderful riding by our youth drill team and shots of a very young Jullian Montsch.

Thanks, all.

I have two more of these G&J rear sprung bicycles but they are in a state of already being painted and parts already nickel plated and need re assembly.

I haven't seen a bicycle like this offered at Copake Antique Bicycle Auction 2020.

Thanks for posting the 1898 intro flyer. That 1899 model year Model 16 Crescent looks very similar. Only notable differences are the handlebar stem (adjustable bar angle), seat post (rearward type), and chainring spider (more bulbous at attachment). Maybe there were other years Crescent offered their Model 16? I imagine the stem and post could've been just swapped out at the dealer. And maybe the crank change was a running change later in the the year. "Parts spec subject to change."

Nice to see mention of the "Rosewood" finish on the mud guard. I'll be restoring ours, it's in two pieces now. I imagine many of these broke. Maybe someone knows a source for the mud guard ferrules? Looks like a Stimpson SG 5-7. I imagine they were flashed with nickel originally, though ours are pretty dang dark now.

Does anyone know of a Crescent serial number listing?
