Ivel Bicycles
Another British bike manufacturer that got started long ago! Ivel Cycle Works was started by Dan Albone in the 1880's. The first bikes were the high wheel "ordinary", but the change to safety bikes occurred not long afterwards. Per Mr. Stone, Mr. Albone was one of the early innovators to modifiy the fork rake to improve the bike's stability. Mr. Albone's work also included innovations in step-through frames and in tandem design.
