Black Mfg. Co made its mark with the Tribune Bicycle. The Tribune Bicycle was made in Erie Pennsylvania between approximately 1894 and 1899. Bicycles such as this one were made in an era where this mode of transportation was increasingly getting faster. The speed of these machines was also attractive to the Canadian market and thus the Tribune seeing its sales grow throughout Canada. Canadian weather also brought its own unique challenges. This meant that oil and lubricant was necessary to keep the machine working well, and they were sold in oiling cans at bicycle retail stores and bicycle repair shops to circumvent seizing parts during the colder months. Le Bicycle Tribune a été construit par la compagnie Black Mfg. La compagnie est située aux États-Unis en Pennsylvanie et cet artefact était fabriqué entre 1894 et 1899. Ce bicycle était construit pendant une ère ou la vitesse de ce mode de transport a vu de grandes améliorations. La vitesse de la Tribune était très attirante au marché canadien et de plus en plus de ventes prenait place au pays. La température canadienne était un défi qui était navigué avec l'aide de l'huile et du lubrifiant pour diminuer les chances que des morceaux saisis apparaisse pendant les mois d'hiver. Ces produits étaient vendus aux magasins de réparation des bicycles.
Function

Technical
This bicycle contains a chain drive, brakes, and a diamond frame. The diamond frame consisted of straight steel tubes, either brazed or welded together, connected directly to all other important components, and supported the riders’ weight and distributed it evenly across the machine. Chains were also seeing innovative improvement thanks to oil and lubricant. Chains were prone to catching mud and dust and trapping it in the mechanism, and cleaning a chain was perhaps a tiresome process. The rider could buy a self-oiling system or oil their chain themselves, which would prevent rust and other dirt from accumulating in the right inner workings of the chain. These items were sold in oiling cans at bicycle retail stores and bicycle repair shops in almost any big town in Canada. Ce bicycle possède des freins, un châssis fait en forme diamant et une commande par chaine. Le châssis diamant consiste des tuyaux en acier qui était brasé ou soudé ensemble. Les tuyaux connectaient directement à tous les composantes importantes et distribuais le poids du coureur également au travers le bicycle. Les chaînes ont aussi vu de l'amélioration avec l'aide du lubrifiant et de l'huile. Les chaînes avaient tendance à accumuler de la boue et de la poussière. Nettoyer les chaînes est un processus long et fatigant. Le coureur pouvait simplement appliquer de l'huile et sa diminuait les chances que la chaine saisie ou qu'elle rouille. Ces items étaient facilement disponibles et vendu à tous les magasins ou les villes étaient plus développées au travers le Canada.
