This bike is a replica of a bike that probably never was. The Wright Brothers advertised a Special bike on their new bike business back in 1897, but no "Special" bike ever showed up. Their two models were the Van Cleve and St. Clair. This bike is built to mimic a bike from that period of time.

The whole back story, and your creative take on this build really makes it stand out. Turned out well!
 
I really like this tribute build!
 
I decided to paint it black, as most bikes back in the late 1800's were black. Here's the real thing next to mine:
