1903 Tribune
This bicycle has quite a few unique details. First off, the color is quite unusual for its day. It also has a two speed rear hub with a coaster brake. Instead of the normal chain, this bike has a shaft driven rear wheel. The drive shaft runs through the right side chain stay. Also notice the front fork has a small shock absorber on each fork blade. Major Taylor, one of the biggest sports figures of the times, raced a Tribune shaft drive for awhile.
