SERIOUSLY early hardtail resto project (1893, not 1993).

well done! i was (cant remember why) looking thru all the oldest threads and found this. the title caught my eye as i am always interested in really old things. love all the vintage turn of the 20th century stuff,motorbikes too.

So the chain is 1/2" roller to roller and 1" per full pitch, normal bicycle standard? What is usually referred to as 1/2" pitch.

Engaging every link on the freewheel and every complete pitch on the chainring?

Cool anyway

Not exactly, this is proper 1" pitch block chain. It's also significantly wider at around 3/8" across the teeth.

Thank you - I understand now.
