HISTORY: Owned by Mr and Mrs J S Smith, this company was registered in 1883 and produced ‘Invincible’ high-wheelers (from 1876-89), safety bicycles and tandem tricycles. The Invincible’ racer weighed less than 20 lb. in 1884. The premises were at 85 Borough in 1876, 87 Blackman Street, Borough, London in 1877 then 85 Blackman Street in 1880 and 128 & 129 Great Suffolk Street, Borough, London, in 1884-90. The owners were also rubber manufacturers.

Various tricycles were produced under the ‘Invincible’ model name including the ‘Invincible Shiptonian Racer’ and ‘Invincible Humber Racer’ in 1886. The latter weighed only 35lb. With 36 in. wheels geared to 60 in. A highly successful tandem tricycle was produced in 1888. The ‘Invincible’ safety of 1889 had the unusual feature of a single fork front and rear. An eccentric method was used to adjust the chain. There was also the ‘DSHR’ and ‘Victory’ models.

A new limited company was formed on 16 March 1898 with £1,000 of capital. Reg. No. 56,527. The company was located at 71 and 492 Mansion House Chambers, Queen Victoria Street, London, in 1898 and 20 Bucklersbury, London, EC, in 1903.
