I think it's a great marketing strategy. Repetitive imaging. Eventually the individual
parts and pieces will blend in together in our minds with the total average price
and we'll realize that this really is a great deal. All it's missing is a catchy jingle to
play along with it as we scroll...
That makes for a nice clean fitment. But it does put the factory placement of the head badge before the
final install of the forks and neck, etc. This could lead to potentially damaging the head badge down stream
in the assembly. Not cost efficient in the long run as it slows production just a...
I love the wire repair job on the sissy bar. "Dad! My bike broke!" Bike's don't break themselves son.
What happened? "I was jumping the ditch in the woods and the sissy bar broke when I landed."
Oh, I see. Well, let's go take a look. Wow. You did that in one jump? "Well, maybe I jumped the...
Craziest reason ever for buying a bike?
I wanted to pull together a pair of His and Hers Schwinn New World bicycles.
You know, so my wife and I could pedal around the neighborhood, smiling
and waving at everyone as we went. Like the neighbors were going to all come
out, smiling and waving back...
Hey Fred. Wanna take a ride out to Sag Harbor today? π
I just saw this Royal London and thought, wow! great bike
for a US Army Air Corps in England impression for the Tank
Museum WW2 weekend event. Still no ideas on what it's worth?
PETE
Living here on Long Island, Craigslist expands the radius out to include
parts of New England. Guy in CT had a bike I was interested in and was
kind enough to meet me at the Bridgeport Ferry. I remember it well.
I ran off the ferry, looked around and waited. He arrived just as they
were closing...
I'll be tackling the same job on my L1 Morrow hub soon. I'm glad you breached the subject
here for all of us "beginners". At least, it's going to be a first for me anyway. Best of luck to
you. I'll be watching intently. Please post the process and the results. π
For what it's worth. Ah yes, I see it now. And I see you sold the lot. Good job.
Glad I got in on the ground floor on this one. Score one for the little guy.
That's SOFTLG! π Thanks again for the great deal.
I picked one of these up and I'm more than satisfied with the chain.
Don't let the dark oil in the photos throw you off. These clean up
beautifully. I haven't tackled the crusty one yet as it's still soaking in
PB Blaster. I am wondering what FWIW! stands for? I'm old and don't
know what the...
That's a great collection right there. Seems a shame to break them all up.
But then again, they all came that way originally. Seems then that they
were all lucky to have gotten together in the first place! π And who
doesn't recognize the overuse of the single syllable "O" in the word...
My dad was raised on a farm in the 1930's and never really learned how to ride a bike.
He could ride a motorcycle and countless other vehicles. He could do most anything,
especially in my young mind, because he was my dad! πBut one summer day in the
early 1980's he and my mom got matching blue...
Private Hott was an ingenious man. Had he come back to the states and patented
the idea he may have retired wealthy. He could have marketed the grips as "Hott's
Private Collection handlebar grips. Firm. Yet soft to the touch on those long rides.
Field tested throughout Europe. Get yours today!"...
For an old Royal Navy knife, this is in outstanding condition.
Most often the blades are overused and ground down to a
nub or scratched beyond belief. This is clean and straight with
a nice edge. Same with the marlin spike. It's a perfect example
ready for anyone's knife collection. Good luck...
Another NOS G519 57 link chain with package open.
These images were borrowed from an old @bikesnbuses classified ad.
I was lucky enough to score two. Thank you sir.
Pedal bones and air "out" holes! See, these are terms I understand. π
Oh man that's good stuff. So, my friend gets into bee keeping and
sends me a photo of the new hives being delivered. Guys in the suits
and hoods and I notice what I automatically think is big pieces of
bacon on top of a...
Here's to Al and Bergerwerke. He helped me out with my project bike more than once.
I would pore over the details of the completed bicycles on the Bergerwerke website for
hours trying to get mine as near to perfect as possible. π
My Dad would say occasionally, "Nothing good ever lasts forever...
I used the aftermarket tire pump on flea bay. It was about $10 at the time I bought it.
Don't know what they're getting now. I think it's about the right length and I had to
sand it a bit to get it to take the OD paint. But it looks good.
Well, this one went faster than I could click on the site to take a look. π
I'm a slow clicker I guess. IMA had it posted as Serial Number: USA 8185.
No link to it, but if you search IMA, then use their search for "bicycle" it's
still there. There's also a WW2 COMPAX that went pretty quick...
That is a cool ride. With an awesome matching trailer to boot? C'mon. Too cool.
I'm guessing that as a single speed you'd have calves of iron hauling anything
over 50 pounds... up a hill... phew! Made myself tired thinking about it. I love
this bike!
I have often been accused of mocking what I do not understand. Clearly this is an accomplished engineer and a notable bicycle in the history
of successful bicycle design and production. To All; Forgive my apparent and offensive ridicule of the marketing. I did not consider the regional
or...
Again, marketing. The Fitness Bike? It's frisky and fun? Damn. Although I kinda miss
those big 80's and early 90's commercials. There's a lot of out of work saxophone
players out there today. Nothing for nothing but I think I married that red haired
girl that couldn't make it up the hill or stop...
I know I'm most interested in how this bicycle operates. Also wondering why such innovation was never adopted, outside of the usual
Corporate needing to make a huge fortune on someone else's patented thoughts and ideas. Unless there were major faults with the
system that prevailed in the less...
That right there is a beautiful piece of art. It's amazing how far out they pushed the relief of the warrior's face,
creating that 3D image. Haunting, as he looks stern and proud over to his left. It adds depth and character to
the portrait. A very nice piece. Big bell too. Must sound great...
Man, this one is from Brazil and I'm guessing it's a one-off? Please mind my sarcasm, as it runs in the family.
Get your popcorn and your wallet ready for this one because it's a heck of an expensive show.
