1891 Diamond-Framed Safety Bicycle

This rare and interesting early bicycle is in running order. Everything is impressive about it, but if I were to be critical I’d pick it up on the handlebars, which are painted. It has been assessed by a veteran bicycle expert and is a genuine 118-year-old bicycle.

Solid (‘cushion’) tyres

30″ Wheels with original crescent rims

7″ slotted cranks

Inch-pitch block chain
