The Superior Boneshaker® Highwheel

Our top-of-the-line bike is based on the Gormully and Jeffery American Champion. G&J was one of the big 3 American brands from the period of the highwheel. It incorporates steel castings copied directly from an original G&J we have here at RBR.​

​

The head, neck, bar clamps, and spade grips from the original G&J bikes were copied faithfully and have been used to make a bike very close in appearance to the original. The standard handlebars are made with a cowhorn/moustache style bend. Semi-custom bars are straight or dropped at the ends to the width specified by the rider and are additional cost. Handle grips are rubber, in spade configuration, adjustable to angle and comfortable to hold. Pear shape wood handles are optional in place of the spade style. The bike comes with a bell, as well as a sprung leather hammock style saddle, adjustable rear step, and pantguard. Pedals are antique style rubber block, and the cranks are our adjustable 3 hole cottered type. Finish is a black powder coating standard. Red or black rubber on tires and pedals optional. Step, bars and clamps, grips and springs, are usually plated.

​

The wheels are of our own make, 38", 45”, 48", 50", 52", 54" or 56" tall, with 60 stainless steel spokes in the smaller bikes and 72 in the 54-56" wheels. Spokes are either tangentially or radially laced as an optional choice and come with a solid rubber tire in red or black. The rear wheel is 16", fully adjustable and comes with a solid rubber tire. Main wheel bearings are sealed precision as are the rear bearings. Frame is steel tubing with an .095 wall, and the forks are .065 wall. All parts are MIG welded.​​
