Black Beauty - 1919 Trotter?? - SOLD

[kingfish254]

Got this great original paint Black Beauty as part of a trade with Tyler today (@American Vintage Bicycle Supply )

We met up at The Varsity in Atlanta and had lunch and traded. I didn't get any good pics of the bike but here is what I have. One pic even has my Georgia Tech freshman dorm room in the background across I-75/85.

Had to pick up one of these cool Varsity shirts while I was there.

Here are the pics of the bike that Tyler took of it back when he first picked it up. It's definitely been used, but it's a beauty. You gotta love the electrical tape tire wrap!

It might be a 1919 Trotter

Also found the Trotter model in a different color scheme in the 1917 catalog

Nice lines. Love that crank....and the head-badge. the entire stance is sweet.
of course, the duck tape too.

Looks great. It is a amazing find. I really like the condition except for the tape. It must have taken a while to tape up the wheel like that.

I'm thinking maybe the tire size was hard to find - or just a case of being to broke to replace it!

SOLD to a Horse guy in Philly
