In Mahanoy City, PA, for a holiday festival  11/28/08

The Victorian Highwheelers perform a four-man rolling arm brace during a special event on July 5, 2008. It was the 125th Anniversary of Thomas Edison's world-changing experiment when he illuminated the first building using the three-wire system. The place is still standing - the first building in the world to receive municipal lighting - now called the Hotel Edison, Sunbury, PA.  We were proud to be asked to be on hand for that special occasion.

We're proud to own a beautifully restored 1882 Columbia Standard with double nut spokes, called a spider wheel. This bike was restored by Art Hart of Ottsville, PA, and features a rare Pope Mfg. Co. hub lamp in mint condition, and original 1882 sales literature. This highwheel was awarded a Nat'l. Wheelmen First Place and is believed to be one of the first high end restorations.
