FRAME STYLES The Online Bicycle Museum. EVOLUTION OF BICYCLE FRAME STYLESFrom the first days of the bicycle, inventors experimented with variations in the machine’s geometry, adapting them to make it easier or more efficient for the rider to use. Different frame styles have always interested me, so I have an example of many styles in the Oldbike Online Bicycle Museum. This page is a short history of the evolution of the bicycle, linking to relevant pages where you can read further about particular frame variations from the beginning until the 1.

I’m currently editing and updating this page)1. DRAISIENNEThe first bicycle was invented by Baron Karl Drais of Mannheim, Germany, patented in January 1.

Also known as a ‘dandy horse’ or ‘hobby horse’ it had no pedals, instead being ‘walked’ by the rider. In France it was known as the Draisienne, and another name for it in England was the ‘swift walker.’ A disadvantage of the design is that it had to be built to order to take account of the rider’s height; it was fashionable in 1. Below, you can see Ivan Krivanak, from the Czech Republic, on his hobby horse.

I photographed him at the IVCA cycle rally in France in June 2. There is obviously no film of an 1. Dandy Horse taken at the time.

JOHNSON’S LADIES WALKING MACHINEDenis Johnson was Great Britain’s first cycle manufacturer, making his own version of the Draisenne in 1. The first major frame variation was Johnson’s 1. Draisenne, created to make it easier for women to mount the machine …and therefore avoid ridicule within the strict conservatism of the day. He had two riding schools, in the Strand and Soho, and he exhibited it there in May 1. It is a steerable machine propelled by the rider’s feet. The only original example of the Johnson’s Ladies’ Walking Machine known to exist is owned by the Science Museum (above). My friends have built a faithful replica seen below.

REPLICA 1. 81. 8/1. JOHNSON’S LADIES WALKING MACHINE1. Onwards: TILLER & TREADLESVarious three and four wheeled machines were designed over the next three decades, using pedals, treadles and hand- cranks, but without any great success due to their weight and lack of velocity. Children’s tricycles from the 1. You can see one below. 1. TILLER & TREADLE CHILDREN’S VELOCIPEDE TRICYCLEPLEASE CLICK HERE1. KIRKPATRICK MACMILLANKirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish inventor is credited with the creation of the first pedal- driven bicycle.

A Mac. Millan style machine (below) is on display at Glasgow Museum. LEVER- DRIVEN BICYCLEPLEASE CLICK HERE1. VELOCIPEDEThere are various claims for the invention of the first velocipede, but it was developed in France during the 1. The first successful manufacturer was Michaux.

The first British machine was built by the Coventry Machinists Co (later Swift Cycle Co). An example of a British velocipede (also commonly called a ‘boneshaker’) can be seen below. ANDREW MUIR & Co VELOCIPEDEPLEASE CLICK HERE1. THE ORDINARYThe velocipede was superseded by the Ordinary, a similar style machine, ie a front- driver, but with a larger front wheel and smaller rear wheel. My focus in this museum is on the Safety Bicycle rather than the Ordinary, so I have mostly ignored it). CHILDREN’S ORDINARYPLEASE CLICK HERE1. FRONT- STEERING TRICYCLEBoth the 1.

Ordinary required athletic ability to be ridden, and they were also expensive machines. This restricted their use to gentlemen (who, in Victorian times, were traditionally taller than working class people). Women were restricted by Victorian convention, whose dictates considered it inappropriate to sit astride a vehicle (hence the ‘side- saddle’ pose for horse riding). Although some rebellious women did ride men’s bicycles, gentlewomen who favoured the idea of propelled independent transportation could use a tricycle.

While blokes would race their machines and follow up their exertions with a pint of beer down the pub, women would traditionally ride around Hyde Park, stopping for tea afterwards. This variation in style and use could be compared in the later context of the difference between riding a motorcycle and driving a car. PLECTOCYCLE FRONT- STEERING TRICYCLEPLEASE CLICK HERE1. THE PREMIER CROSSFRAMEWith the Ordinary being too difficult for most people to ride, inventors searched for solutions. By the 1. 88. 0s, various contraptions addressed the issue, but Hillman Herbert & Cooper was the first company, in 1. Premier’ was a crossframe, and its steering arrangement  was centrally located, the style that continues to this day.

My range of Premier bicycles covers six different frame styles (below), but not the first Premier crossframe. I create additional museums for such specialist subjects, which you can link to below. Because the Premier was the first production crossframe, it is titled the Premier & Crossframe Museum.

THE PREMIER & CROSSFRAME MUSEUMPLEASE CLICK HERE1. THE CROSSFRAMEA variety of crossframe styles are covered in the Premier & Crossframe Museum, from a very basic 1. There is also a rare 1. This machine also has an additional strengthening stay between the steering head and the pedals: once an upper stay had been added too, in the next stage of evolution, you essentially had a diamond frame bike: ie the upper and lower stays were expanded into frame tubes and the centre crossframe member was removed.

The first crossframe design went out of fashion by 1. Peugeot continued to offer them for sale, particularly in rural areas of France). If you look at the pictures of the first crossframes (below), you can see that the steering head was obviously its weak point, and they had a habit of breaking there; this weak point was an essential reason for improvement and, therefore, pivotal to the bicycle’s evolution. The crossframe came back into fashion, although as a much more ‘modern’ design, in 1. Raleigh’s crossrame patent (The model was subsequently called the ‘X Frame’). Many different companies subsequently made crossframes and, so as not to infringe on Raleigh’s patent (and have to pay Raleigh patent fees), they changed their own design in various ways. There was pressure on the manufacturers to prove how strong their bicycles were and, though I’m not sure that a crossframe is stronger than a diamond frame bike, the crossframe machine stands out from the crowd and elicits discussion …obviously points that helped the companies sell them. The Raleigh Superbe X Frame was actually for a time the most expensive bicycle on the British market.

PATENT TRIANGULAR FRAME RALEIGH’ (LATER CALLED ‘RALEIGH X FRAME’)I enquired about the derivation of the term ‘X frame’ and marque enthusiast Andrew Millward explained to me: In the 1. Book of the Raleigh ie the complete catalogue, there is reference to “Superbe” models and X frame in it.

In the 1. 89. 7 and 1. X frame/superbe is described as the “Raleigh patent Lady’s safety frame” No 1 Nottingham made and No 2 Lenton made. In 1. 90. 0 they are collectively (the gents’ model was added in 1.

Patent Triangular Frame Raleighs”, but the model name for gents No 2. No 1. 6 was “Modele Superbe”. The term “X” frame was a term used to describe the various X- frame designs appearing around this time eg Referee, Centaur etc and was used in the cycling press and by technical writers such as Archibald Sharp. RALEIGH X FRAMEPLEASE CLICK HERE1. ROVER SAFETY BICYCLEBy definition, a ‘Safety Bicycle’ differs from a front- driving ‘Ordinary’ in that its pedals and chainwheel use a chain to drive the rear wheel. The first is credited to Harry Lawson in 1. Although various other prototypes were made, the first successful model was made by John Kemp Starley, named The Rover.
