Rambler (bicycle)
The
Rambler is an American bicycle brand manufactured by the
Gormully & Jeffery Mfg. Co., in Chicago from 1878 to 1900.
The Rambler was still a proud piece of machinery when low prices took precedence over high quality. Its body featured flared metal tubing for extra strength at the joints, which were
brazed by immersion in molten brass. These techniques continued even after Gormully & Jeffery (G&J) and Rambler became names of the
American Bicycle Company, or
Bicycle Trust, which was not known for the best manufacturing techniques in all of its lines.
