 MISC: Need help Identifying
posted by: sal
on 10/4/2011 at 6:13:44 AM
| I need help on finding information on this bicycle my wifes uncle had, her aunt was getting rid of the bicycle, so I took it because I thought it was cool looking having wings in the front and my initials in the circle SG. Also the great looking condition of the leather seat with springs and leather tool pouch. The only name on the front emblem is Ehrenburg with the castle emblem in the center, and the name sonderklasse on the top frame, it has West Germany on the frame, the rear derailer says schwinnmester. Also has a white Bluemels featherlight pump which works since I had to pump the big orange tires up to ride it home. I must say it was fun compared to my mountain bike. Any helps or guidance will be greatly appreciated. I have several pics but not sure how to post them here. thanks sal

| 1890's (?) Gormally & Jeffrey man's bicycle. Unrestored, very good condition. Has chain link tires on steel rims. (Were these original?) I understand Mr. Jeffrey invented the clincher rim, but I cannot determine if the tires are clinchers or glue-ons. The tires are hard and I do not want to try messing with them and buggering them up.

| I have accumulated an almost complete collection of Victory replica parts over the past 10 years to build a Highwheeler as a project and have concluded that I am not going to get to do it, so I am thinking about selling them as a group. I want to see if there is any serious interest out there for these. If there is please respond to continue this discussion.....Thanks |

| renee, Troxel made saddles for practically every bike or trike manufacturer in the US from 1899 until sometime around 1980 plus or minus. It won't help at all with the ID of your machine.
There's not much discussion of kids' trikes on the Oldroads boards. You may have better luck with toy collectors. |

| Jason, I could do with some close up pics of the components, but it looks to me about 1900. If you are US based then the local cycle manufacturing was advanced, and used a lot of internal lugs. The fork crown is typical of the period, but I suspect the frame angles were more upright than usual in Europe. But you have a british bottom bracket, chain wheel and cranks 5 pin BSA pattern, favoured by racers.
In France Bastide made frames fully brazed up, but not till about 1910, and they used external lugs.
In the US the rims for most bikes of the time were made from elm, the racers used maple. The handlebar looks original, but not a racers option.

| Thank you very much!
I sent some photos to the aol address that comes up with your name. Please let me know if you need them a different way.
By the way I washed it today and a beautiful blue has emerged on the head tube extending over the top tube. Doesn't look
like a repaint to me. [p][a href=http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5017/5516449954_dc2ec21765_z.jpg target=_blank][img src=the_camera.jpg][/a]

| One more of the blue
Tires are original or close to it. The rear is a Pennsylvania Sturdy Stud by Pennsylvania Rubber Company, and front is a BFGoodrich Safety Bicycle Tire patented 1913. Front rim is different than rear (has a red stripe), so perhaps it was replaced[p][a href=http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5213/5516450234_2267bd0172_z.jpg target=_blank][img src=the_camera.jpg][/a]
