This Elswick Popular Truss Path Racer is a very rare survivor. It appears to be one of the last Newcastle machines, and is in good condition apart from splits in its wooden wheel rims. As you can see, it still carries its original tyres. The rear hub is interesting, being threaded on both sides (‘flip-flop’). The sprocket on the other side is also fixed wheel, but is inch pitch. I would speculate that it was used both on the road and track, and with a larger inch pitch chainwheel for racing.
