It's a Dursley Pedersen style. The originals had a really long hammock style saddle. They're supposed to be very comfortable, though I've never ridden one.

Diamond frames also vary in fork and head tube length. If it isn't a variant of a Pedersen, what would it be?

Faux Pedersen has a long head tube. Maybe that's causing some confusion

Now that my thread was high-jacked...here is one example of a Dursley Pedersen bike.
By comparison my Virtue Ortho Faux Pedersen.
And a stock Virtue Ortho.

This thread started out as a “Gallery” representation of my bike projects. I appreciate the views and comments.
The Bicycle Museum of America is a neat place, I’ve been there. The video doesn’t have anything to do with my Gallery thread, it should be a separate post of its own. The debate about what a Pedersen bike is irrelevant.

Been enjoying this build.

I love the old school vintage looks you have here, awesome builds.I’ve been thinking about posting these bikes as a group for a while.
It’s an eclectic group to say the least.

Some seriously great builds here. I'm loving all of them. I'm getting ready to do an Elgin motobike so I'm particularly enamored of that one at the moment but they are all so high quality and nice! I'm going to have to build a bike that's actually nice someday. And I'll definitely be perusing your build threads this winter for ideas and inspiration. Thanks for posting them all!
