VERY NICE ORIGINAL 1889 EAGLE ROADSTER high wheel safety bicyclemanufactured in Stamford, CT.EAGLESwere only manufacturedfor three years from 1889-1891 making them extremely rare to find especially in complete condition. This style high wheel safety was introduced late in the high wheel era to add to the safety of the rider being placed over the large rear wheel and having a front steerable wheel to keep from experiencing a \"header\" which was a common problem on a standard high wheel bicycle with the rider sitting over the large front wheel and being pitched over the handlebars if he hit something that stopped the front wheel or in a crash. This fine example has a 50\" rear driving wheel making it very controllable for most rider\'s heights.The top pair ofsteering column spindle ears are stamped on the sides with frame serial number435 on the lower earand 50 on theupper earreferring to the rear wheel size. Original name plate at front of steering columnover front forks. All seat and brake parts 100% original and complete.Slotted adjustable throw pedal crank arms. Original vulcanite plastic hand grips. All spokes original.The black tires have been on it for many years as well as the seat leather and pedal rubbers.


This is a very nice \"as found\" rare high wheel safety bicycle in complete condition. Extremely hard to find surviving example of an antique bicycle made before last century. .
