Pre-war military bicycle Delta Winner light. I believe it was never mounted; it has some shelf wear but overall nice for being over 70 years old. These rarely come up for sale, so here's your chance. Asking $250 shipped.

NOS G519 Columbia Military Bicycle rear fender, has some minor shelve ware. Still has the Government stock number tag. Otherwise a very nice original never used fender that will also fit on Huffman G519 bicycles. $300 + shipping. If going to Monroe/Memory Lane can be picked up.

NOS G519 Columbia Military Bicycle rear fenders, has some minor shelve ware, with the Government stock number tag. For being over 70 years old they are in great condition. What's different from civilian fenders is that the military fenders show minor imperfections that is, paint runs.

Looking for the Left (like the one pictured) rear bracket for a Twin Flex (1938-1940).

Thanks, I started with just a bunch of Twin Flex spring hardware and not sure how it all goes together. Will post pictures when I get it together. Not sure of the year, the fork numbers are 49 and has a straight down tube. The fenders are peaked Huffman with flat braces that will need to be...

Thanks for answering my questions, just to clarify, the rubber washer/grommet goes under the plate.

Working on a 1938 Twin Flex and have a few questions. 1. Is there a rubber washer that fits under the springs. 2. The two lower brackets (the red ones) each have 1 threaded hole and 1 non-threaded, does these use a shoulder bolt with nut or all threaded. 3. The rear brackets are missing the...

The G519 truss rods are slightly different from Huffman civilian and probably others. By elongating the bottom of the rods will allow for adjustment. Also, G519's used a HD hub.

Thanks Johan, Love that picture!

The three (3) bicycles pictured below were built over a span of 17 years. Information on each bicycle is outlined below. 1942 Early Huffman Dayton military “tribute” (honor) bicycle was completed last year. The goal for this project was to build it like the one pictured in the U.S. Army WW2...

It's fun, with a coaster brake, I'm glad it's got a governor on the engine. Thanks for the nice comment

Yes, I thought about that when I was building the bike. I will check it often.

I designed the decal and Gus made them.

Just for fun, I mounted a 3 HP Predator engine on a 1936 Huffman Dayton bicycle along with a 1941 Dayton spring fork, HD wheels, lights, and custom-made gas tank. Why would I do this? Although some bike enthusiasts would not have put a motor on this bike, I realized this bike frame gave me the...

Recently restored 1914 Superb Model Peerless Bicycle. The picture of the two ladies was taken at a recent Wheelmen event. Incorrect seat on bike, the correct one will be put on at a later date.

Attach are pictures of an original G519 steel reflector

Adrian, Was able to find Jerry's number (15 years since we last talked) we had a nice chat. His bike is in storage, but will validate the numbers including the fork. He did say the hub is marked M1 (march 1943). And that the rear hub is painted early WW2 no.33070, where as the frame is...

Hi Adrian, Going over some old files from 2005 and ran across some information on Jerry Cleveland's U.S. Marine Corps Dayton bicycle. Here is what I found: From Jerry, Here is the info on my '43 Dayton: 1943 Dayton USMC Bicycle SN H102177. 26x2 tires marked “WAR TIRE” Serial Number markings...

Is the Dayton Badge still available?

The 1944 military bicycle from Wright Field is currently on display at the Bicycle Museum of American in New Bremen, Ohio

XL if available. Thanks

The bicycle does look like a Wright Brothers bicycle. If it is I stand corrected, this would be the only picture with one of the Wrights standing next to a bicycle they made!

Henry Ford on the left and it looks like Orville Wright on the right, the man in the middle unknown. A great picture!

From 1896 through 1904 the Wright Brothers produced a "Limited" number of bicycles with no more than several hundred of both brands (St Clair & Van Cleve) combined ever built. Other brands of bicycles were sold and bicycle repair was being done by others hired by the Wrights. So.....not many...

My research shows the location of the remaining five Wright Brothers bicycles as stated in the above post (#12). So it's probably a clone. Most of the original bikes were destroyed in the Dayton Flood in 1913.

Condensed History of Wright Brothers bicycles given out at the event

Here is the only video I know of..enjoy http://webapp2.wright.edu/web1/newsroom/2016/10/06/wright-brothers-day-celebrated-universitys-innovative-spirit/#video

I really had a wonderful time at the Wright Bros. Day. The main reason I attended the event was to display a set of tools used in the Wright Airplane Company in 1913. I just happened to have mentioned to the organizer that I owned a Wright Era Bicycle and was told to bring it (the only cycle...

I was invited to participate in the 6th annual Wright Brothers Day held on October 5th, 2016, at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. This event celebrates how the innovative spirit of the Wright Brothers is shown in today’s history and innovations from Wright State and the local area...

Yes, Interested in the Delta light. Thanks!

From the American Bicyclist magazine C. 1940's on war time bicycle production.

All I know so far is that the chainring is not original for this bike. Missing head badge, and that the rear fender is off a gir's bike. I'm guessing 1920's. Thanks for any help Rodger Armbrust

Darn that chainring! MY DEAR facair55 ... do not cry .. do not weep .. do not mourn ...... while your bicycle is not a Davis-Built .. it does have many good parts attached to it ... tiller bars .. those pedals .. clean chain .. a non-Davis, non-bayonet crank .. that saddle .. a very-stout...
