Rare early 1896-7 Pedersen Safety bicycle with possibly original replated nickel handlebars and leather hammock style saddle. 27" frame measurement from crank to top of hammock saddle. Manufactured in Dursley Gloucestershire, England by Mikael Pedersen. Unique cantilever frame design made of thin gauge tubular steel soft soldered rather than brazed and tension wire stays. A lightweight marvel for this time. Pedersen bikes have a cult following in England. Remainder of the components are later replacements.
