Gormully's did indeed have fancy lugs--I call that maker G&Js for short.They sold their bicycle line around 1903 to Pope when G&J started american motors corp.Pre 1900 American bikes were as good as could be found anyplace in the world.Dayton(huffy) built a cro-moly as early as 36 maybe earlier.By 1910 motors were our fancy,so bicycles took a big hit in the states till 1970
