I'm thinking of giving this bike as a gift, but thought I should find out more about it first. The head badge says it is a Colson, but I cannot find anything like it on the inter tube. It seems to have been the subject of a frame repair. Any info on background, year of manufacture, value...
I was working on a Sturmey Archer drum brake front hub and discovered a series of numbers on the back of the brake cable arm. The number is 3840149. The hub itself has the numbers 10 79 stamped on it. My working theory is that the 79 is year of manufacture. Could the 10 be the month? Am I...
I suppose the mods will do what the mods must do. I, however, have no desire to force the bidder to buy something from that he does not want to buy, nor do I have any desire to see him sanctioned for this unfortunate contretemps.
Just got back from a ride - quite brisk. Just 25 degrees out. I've decided to withdraw this thread. Please don't take this as me skulking off in a snit or as some weird attempt at a snub. I truly appreciate your candor (and, by the way, the incredible depth of knowledge available on CABE)...
Don't get me wrong, I agree with that interpretation. I'm new to this and sought some clarity as to the bidder's status prior to posting. Again, live and learn.
BTW, the way this played out argues against the 3 hour rule. His offer was posted 12:05 am (not sure if this is Pacific or Central time). I was sleeping at the time and remained asleep past what would have been the 3 hour window. In my opinion, 3 hours is way too short.
Thanks for your input. I don't recall seeing anywhere in the rules that acceptance must be public. Perhaps I overlooked that. In any event, I pm'd him because it was unclear to me what his intent was. I pm'd him well within the 24 hour window to let him know that I was accepting his $251...
This has been a confusing experience. I don't know what BFGforme meant by saying he was done (done bidding or withdrawing prior bids?) and I don't know what to do with the info coasterbrakejunkie1969 just sent me. What I really want to know his does anyone want to buy this hub and how much are...
Obviously used Cyclo Standard derailleur. Disraeli Gears web site seems to indicate this may be from early 30's, but note the number 47 stamped on the arm - not sure what this signifies. I do not have the shift lever that goes with this.
This bottom bracket axle (cottered) currently resides, but I suspect is not native to, a Schwinn Continental from somewhere around 1944-46. Can anyone tell me what these markings signify? I'm particularly interested in the figure on the left. Thanks.

I tried looking up info on this hub before I posted it for sale and found very little on the history of Atom. If you find more info, please let me know.

Doing a little research on my own (a dangerous proposition), I see that BSA was taken over by Raleigh in 1957. Would Atom have continued to stamp BSA on their hubs after that?

Not really sure what this is. Clearly a campagnolo bottom bracket set, but I've never seen one with the flanges on the axle. What is it? Any info appreciated. Thanks.
