| Hello, Bob of Tallbike.com here. My company is building a prototype of our "TallBike", a generic copy of a Hi-Wheel / Penny Farthing bicycle. We will build the bike to be close to the popular Rudge Light bicycle. I need a section of front rim in order to have a Aluminum extrusion mold made. Will pay cash or trade for Jewelry (http://buckagram.com) for a small section of a 1887 (or about) Rudge Rim. Please contact me at e-mail address shown on the website at http://www.tallbike.com You will be pleased to know that our projected price will be $500 usd or under. Those that help will get a discount or a bike at cost. Bike will be made in Asia with help and parts from well known Bicycle factories located here. Thank you, Bob of Tallbike.com |
| what u mean Bob is that we cut a piece of rim from an antique Rudge Light ( that cost about 10000 $)in order to get discount on 500$bike made in Vietnam or we trade that piece rim with jewelery (that probably cost about a couple of $ a pound) what a deal!!! By the way what is ur company address ? |
| No, What he means is that if you have a unrestorable rim, bent, rusted through in places or whatever,cut a section out and help him out. Man, I'd like to see someone reproduce a reasonable cost highwheeler. Lyle |

| I have acquired this vintage bicycle, patented 1892,1893,1894 by the Remington Arms Co. , Ilion, NY. The bicycle is in Parts all of which appear to be here would like any info about it, as I have never seen one like it, and am new to the really old bicycle scene. It has wooden rims that measure about 25 inches across, The badge is still in place and Has " The Remington" along with the patent dates . PLEASE Help..Thanks |
| All I can tell you is they were designated by model number and the bikes were made from 1892 till 1900 according to the book by Don Adams. The Wheelmen have a far more complete library and I suggest you contact the national office for information. www.thewheelmen.org Luck, Greg |
| Thanks so much for a place to start,Greg. |
| I am intrigued. That sounds like a fascinating and fun project.I do hope you'll keep us updated not only on the progress of the vehicle, but also of the historical info... Good luck with this one! Rif |
| UPDATE: Nothing good to report still brgging for information, I have found a couple of ads for the remington Bicycle, none of which have a picture or tell me exactly what type of bicycle this is. What i know: That the bike was patented in the mid to late 1890's and in to 1900. I beleave it to ber a safety bicycle or a six day racer? manufactured by remington arms co. Yes, I have contacted the company only to discover that any information was lost in some sort of fire. Directed to the Remington Historical Society.... only to find that i can find no information there either, Please anyone with information about this bicycle, give me a shout... Completely new to the antique, classic, vintage bicycle scene. Would love to get this bicycle togather..I think that the bicycle is a great part of our bicycle heritage. Thanks for any reply |
| Are you still looking for information on the remington bicycle? I have an original copy of the 1896 Remington Bicycle catalog that has drawings of many bicycles, and component parts listed by model number. If desired, forward photo's and I'll see if I can help you. Mike Strietbeck Remington Society of america |
| I own a wooden wheeled(no rubber on wheels) Remington bicycle which belonged to my late father which he collected as an adjunct to his very extensive former firearm collection. I would be interested in any information anyone has concerning this bicycle. |
| Hi, I have just put a bike some may be interested in on ebay. I hope you will take a look and pass the info on if you know of some one looking. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3631430377 thanks |
| thanks for getting the word out. the bike has sold already |
| Hello Randy, I really enjoyed looking at the bike pictures on ebay. I saw a feature I could not explain. There is a verticle bar in front of the front fork on each side of the front wheel--apparently for some sort of adjustment. Could you satisfy my curiosity about this? Thanks, Bruce |
| I have just added a whole bunch of new pictures and text to the new George A. Wyman web site. It can be seen at: http://www.angelfire.com/wa3/rif_addams/home.html Click on the "road updates" link to see the new pic.s and read the beginings of the centennial ride across the country. Click on the "building the bike" to see some of the build up of our replica. I have only just started on that page so it's still kinda sparse and rough, but some of it is there. It took a while but i guess I'm starting to figure out this whole web site building, html writing, techno crap. :-) Keep the Tire Side Down, Rif |
| Hi All, I just checked out an excellent book from the library titled "On Your Bicycle" by James McGurn ISBN 0-8160-1748-4 This book starts out with the prehistory of cycles in the 1680's with the hand crank tri wheeled coach that Stephan Farffler, an invalid clockmaker, had built for himself and used to go to church each sunday; complete with a woodcut print of said vehicle and builder. From this it goes through the Draisiennes and Hobby Horses, then down through the ages to the 1980's. This book includes source notes, bibliography, etc. It is one of the most complete histories I have yet come across. I would highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in cyling and it's illustrious history. Rif |

| Could someone please explain to me exactly how the 'spine' tube locates to the forks/head tube on the very old penny farthings(as we call them in the UK.) I'm referring to the type that do not appear to have a head set, but rather a slot in the back of the fork head. I would like to know what shape the end of the spine tube is. Thanks. |
| Trying to contact you via email but my message gets bounced. Maybe a typo in your email address? Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; host smtp.ntlworld.com[62.253.162.40] said: 550 Invalid recipient: command) |
| How the spine locates in the fork? If I understand the question, you would like to know how the frame goes into the head and stays in place? The heads of most of the original bikes had a slot and socket drilled and milled into the rear to accomodate the neck casting that is at the top end of the spine, the neck casting usually ends in a pivot pin that sits vertically. Normally on the bikes, the spine/neck would slip into the head casting and then be held in place by an adjuster bolt that would push downward on the pivot pin shape forcing it into the head casting which usually has a socket at the inner bottom portion to hold the pin in the same way the adjuster bolt has a recess drilled into it to hold the pin at the top. Ok Pete, I don't know if this helped but you can go look at the pics I have on my website www.hiwheel.com look at the Superior model as it uses original casting copies from a G&J. Hope that helps.
