The Arrow Cycle Company was a bicycle manufacturing company based out of Chicago, Illinois that specialized in simplistic and elegant designs, offering very few different models to consumers. The Chicago-based company was rumored to only produce roughly 1,000 units per year, making the Arrow a highly sought after collectible. The bicycle was advertised as a ‘positive wonder for speed, comfort, and easy riding.’ It offered exclusive features such as a Eagle branded seat, anti-friction chain, and a reinforced frame that allowed for longer and easier cruising rides. In an old magazine advertisement, the Arrow was marketed as “the smartest looking bicycle ever built” and “practically a motorcycle without the engine.”

The seller acquired this example from a local collector’s estate a few years ago, and has since kept it on display in his office. The seller has not ridden it, true mileage is unknown.

Modifications:
The seller states the bicycle is “restored and pretty close to all original except for the pedals, spokes and hand grips.”
