Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Howdy fellow bicycle FREAKS! I'm back to the Schwinn headbadge history book I've been working on.
I've got 95 Companies in it so far, but I'm having trouble finding information and photos of bikes for several of the Companies. I'm hoping I can ask about different companies from time to time and maybe someone in bicycle land can help me?

I'll start off with Albright's Cycling & Fitness. South Bend, Indiana & Mishawaka, Indiana
I know they sold Schwinn, Raleigh and Columbia for sure, maybe more.
Any Information and Photos would be just Wonderful! Thanks, Merry Christmas! Barry

I think the bike above is a Columbia? You can see a Schwinn sign in the window.

I had a green and Ivory 1947 Schwinn B6 that had a JP Albrights decal on the rear fender.
The headbadge was the typical Schwinn oval, but the shop decal on the back fender was super cool.
I sold the bike a few years ago, but I think it's still in the area.
I'll see if I can get a picture of it for you.

Thank you! I wasn't able to look at the bike without a password? Barry
Sorry about that... Here is the bike up for auction:
https://www.finn.no/bap/forsale/ad.html?finnkode=110203138&fks=110203138
3 pictures, including a good one of the Schwinn shaped badge. And some information on the retailer:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Øglænd
From the chatter at Altesrad there were some other badges used on "The World" for the German market, according to Papperitz, who put together a comprehensive book of German headbadges. Not currently available from Amazon.de:
https://www.amazon.de/Markenware-Fahrrad-Frank-Papperitz/dp/3934047483
But some are listed on Bookfinder , all on the north side of 50.00 USD. Pesky technical books are always expensive.

It seems like they're asking around $800 dollars for that bike, if only...

Shipping is always a pain....Price is a little less since the Norway uses it's own Kronur, not Euros. I am just intrigued that Schwinn was able to export bikes back to Europe, where every wide spot in the road had their own bicycle factory.
