"OVERMAN BICYCLE, 1886 U.S.N.M. No. 307216... photograph No. 811-B; plate 15, b. This ordinary, built by the Overman Wheel Co., of Boston, Mass., was their Victor model, and was ridden to many racing victories... [P]robably built in 1886, as the latest patent date on its nameplate is December 1, 1885. ...[S]imilar to the Columbia Light Roadster, though larger and of heavier construction. ...The spokes are tangentially laced to the hubs. Adjustable cranks with rubber-covered pedals provide for a throw... from 5 to 5 3/4 inches. The machine is equipped with a leather saddle, a step attached to the lower left of the curved perch, and curved handle bars. There is evidence... that a brake, operating against the tire of the front wheel, was... fitted to the machine."
