The origin of this bike is undetermined. From information obtained from The CABE members it has components that appear to be used by Peerless as early as 1910. It also has element details used by Mead. Regardless, the mix of old and new parts make for an interesting look.

Not sure what the color name is. I bought the frame and fork finished as you see them.

Slick looking bike. I like those handlebars. Any way to remove the decals on your rims?

Now that I know the bike rides OK, the decal removal is on my agenda although I don't want to mess up the rim finish.

Eduardo Bianchi called that color Celeste. One of the most famous racing colors in history.

No, it is kerosene or lamp oil powered. The inside doesn't appear to have seen much use. LED is an idea but I don't want to alter the original construction.
