Likely built in the early 1890's in Chicopee Falls, MA by the Ames Manufacturing company, this possibly one of a kind bicycle has been cleaned up at The Old Spokes Home in Burlington, VT. The original pneumatic tires have been stored away and replaced with solid rubber for display purposes. This is the final touches of putting the bicycle back together and a demonstration of how the gear worked. This bicycle was likely a patent model and never went into production, since "safety" bicycles were the preferred design.

This bike is a dream. I restore old bikes, here, from south of Brazil. This video is amazing.
Thanks for share!
Sorry for vocabulary =P.
I had an opportunity to view all their old bicycles on display on the 2nd floor of this bicycle shop... Bought two Surly's there...
That certainly is a one-of-a-kind design. Near as I can find, the term for this gearing system may be an annulus and pinion.
Usually the pinion has an axle, but the center of that front wheel looks
open, I don't see a hub, what holds the inner gear against the annulus?
Maybe a little pinion on the end of the axle running from the crank
through the annulus that holds the ring gear that is the hub of the
wheel against the annulus? Would that work?
Nice surly patch, you know what's good.
Thanks for sharing!
fantastic
When one gear drives another gear in the same plane and both gear axis are fixed, it's called spur gears. Since one is internal to the other this arrangement is called *internal spur gearing*. It's not epicyclic because epicyclic requires one gear's *center* to rotate about the other gear's center.
i almost put thumbs down for not riding it
Everything has been tried before. Even the saddle has a cutout, something I thought was a trendy new development. And the 130 year old catalogue showed bikes with sloping top tubes.
RIDE IT !!!
اوحيكم على هاذا العمل
Superbe !
great video guys would the gear be a single gear epicyclic
muito bom.
That is a beautiful piece of handmade machinery . More like artwork . I wonder what the gear ratio is ?
Have do you have a ratio when you don't have a chainring or cogs?
Could be a pinion and annular gear. Also it looks like it absorbs shock from the front just by gravity. Interesting but fragile.

back when bikes were built well and you didnt want one to fall on you. cause they were heavy.
how are you supposed to get on that bicycle without falling face first to the ground and how are you going to get up a hill and how are you going to get off where are the breaks for this bicycle adjust bicycle even legal
