Singer & Co, bicycle, England, 1887<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Manufactured by the important English company \u201cSinger & Co\u201d <\/strong>from Coventry<\/strong>. It\u2019s an important model because it marks the appearance of complementary elements to the oblique<\/strong> tube<\/strong>, typical on cross frames. From the tie rods application as a way to stiffen up the frame, the next step will be the square<\/strong> frame<\/strong>, ancestor of the one we use today.<\/p>\n

Bicycles that used the cross<\/strong> frame started using tie rods to stiffen up the frame. The first company to apply them was Singer & Co.<\/p>\n
