1899 Frame and Shop Tools

Some more images from an 1899 Bicycle Supply Catalog

Tubing Straigtener – 1899

Scale – Weight has been Important for a long time:)
Wheel Assembly Tool

1899 – Frame Alignment Tool

Scanned from an original bicycle catalog. I will have other post from this and other turn of the century catalogs. Stay tuned for some killer brazing furnaces!

Finish the Notch

File the finishing touches on the tube. This is the most tedious part of all but the snugger the fit the less chance of frame distortion.

Rough Scribed Lug

Hard to see the scribe line in the picture but it is there. Grinding/Filing to the line is the next step.
