1890 ROVER DIAMOND SAFETY

20″ Frame.

Front wheel 30″ & Rear wheel 28″ with solid tyres.

After many decades hidden away, this 1890 Rover Diamond with an open frame has come to light.

Many years ago, I saw a Rover catalogue advertised on French ebay. I couldn’t afford to buy it at that time, so I copied some of its pages. As a result, when I saw this machine recently I knew exactly what it was and I managed to buy it. I believe it to be the only surviving example of this model.

Apart from missing its front mudguard, brake, grips and leather saddle top, it is remarkably complete. I could replace those items easily enough, but I prefer to see it in ‘as found’ condition. I photographed its details at Falmer village pond this morning, so that if another one turns up in the future, we will know what it is. You can see the catalogue pictures at The Online Bicycle Museum -
