One of my friends told me this bike turned up in a local basement. The story is this bike was ridden every day to get from home to the mill in Dallas Ga (where I live).

The family knows for sure that it was being used in 1907 but doesn't know how long it was used after that because tires could not be found for it. Dallas in 1907 was very rural. There still isn't much.

I made them and strong offered and told them how much local bicycle history meant to me.

I now own it.

Wow, that is cool to have a piece of velo-history from our area! As rural as Dallas was then, I'm shocked that the rims look as true as they are. Looking forward to seeing this one!

None of my business but for own personal reference is a strong offer 3 digits or 4 digits?

3 digits.

This bike might bring $1000-$1500, but anywhere from 5-7 would be a good range to pay someone for a bike like this in my opinion.

its crazy that the fork was never bent either.
 
Wow...looks perfect on the mantle to me. :D

What does your Mom think? :39:

Well my step dad is a big road biker and my mom likes the look so they are as pleased with it as I am!

I'm 20 now and looking to move out soon so I told mom I would have to take the bike with me when I go! Haha
