LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY RACE

I was offered this amazing late nineteenth century

New Hudson racer lately.

Unfortunately it was a bit out of my price range at the moment.

But here are some photos for you to view, and for me to feel a little sad about.

 Skip tooth (inch pitch) chain set

 The plunger type brake, looks cool but is probably a little 

scarey to use for actual stopping purposes.

 I forgot to photograph the other side of the rear wheel,

which had a bar attached to the axle, to assist getting up onto

the tall frame.

This. I assume, is a hang over from the high wheelers.
