Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Let's see what classics you have found from this past week, whether it be bike related or not.
Please include pictures as we do love pictures!





It's all about the Tanklights!!

How did I run out of room so fast?
 
neat british bike, looks like a philips built. What is interesting is the two tone paint. This isn't something you see very often on british bikes.

I grew up about 20 miles north of Evansville, Ind so when Wes offered this plate I was on it. Also scored this 2007 edition Krate off CL. This is not BFK and it seems the build quality of these bikes was much better although in no way even close to the originals. This one was ridden but still really clean and I plan to pass it along--see for sale thread later. V/r Shawn

Picked up these 3 and a krate fork. Found them on CL in Staten Island for what I think was a steal. Planning on keeping the Rams horn, the other two are being sold. The green fastback is already on ebay and the Chopper will be joining it as soon as I straighten the sissy bar, add the rear brake and clean it up

That is very cool. I saw that and was afraid the glass would break when it shipped. Looks like the seller packed it well. I can almost guarantee that was either in the reception area or main office of the factory. That was a great score!
 
I had a great week this week. Found some very nice bikes, 3 are Canadian bikes. The first was a 1897 Comet wood frame. I picked it up along with a real nice old Wrights Olympic saddle, pair of NOS leather grips, 1 nice wood rim and a rough wood rim. Second score was a 41? Schwinn DX in mostly original shape, drum brakes front and back. Same place I picked up a 20's Eatons Glider double bar bike in black, first time I found one in black. Pinstripes are still there and transfer headbadge is partially there. The next one came from same place, 1940's CCM Rambler double bar bike. It was in a dark basement. I thought it was original paint but when I got it outside I found it has been repainted. Still a cool find, Sturmey Archer 3 speed drum brake. I hope to get more from this person. There is a wood rim bike in storage but no info on it.
