| 1870 Ariel Type High Wheel Bicycle This ariel pattern bicycle was orginally a wooden boneshaker velocipede made by E.B. Turner Co. of England. The Starley Cycle Co. in England advertised that they would take in trade or buy well made 1860's boneshakers to convert them to the ariel pattern with metal rims, rubber tires, and their patented tension bar system of tightening all the spokes at one time. This is one the very rare conversions in existence. |
