Singer & Co.

Singer was one of the three biggest bicycle manufacturers in England, together with Hillman, Herbert and Cooper and The Coventry Machinists Co. George Singer (who formerly worked at CMC) started his own company in 1875 in Coventry. Most ordinaries are called 'Challenge'.
They made a lot of different models in the 1880's and 1890's, including a lot of interesting safeties. All Singer bicycles show the great innovative skills of Singer.
