Wanted to buy: a 6 or 12 volt pancake style, front fender mount head lamp for a mid 1920's Mead Ranger restoration project. I already have the correct frame mounted battery canister so I just require the head lamp itself. Any suggestions on where I might find
such an item would be most...
They are only original once! She is a beauty and worth every penny. I do understand why you fit the Universal repo tires; if only they were available as were the Elizabethtown originals you'd see a lot more of these early singletube safeties pedaled around the local parks ( but likely none...
Ed, I just checked the picture on my website of the ladies Sterling and, sure enough, there was a front fender on the bike. Because it was a down loaded piture from a photgraph I'm unable to enlarge the frame in order see details showing how the fender was attached. It had to be some sort of a...
Ed,
It appears that my earlier response to your questions about your Sterling never actually got posted.....don't know why. I won't go through
all of the verbage however, if you care to have a look at the Sterlings I've restored over the years you can go to my website...
Nice find. I bought a ladies Crescent Model No. 10 in about the same condition from a Wheelmen member last year for $500. which included a ladies Christie saddle which I restored and used to replace what was on the Crescent but beyond salvaging. The bike became one of my restoration projects...
Ed, How are you? Long time since we last communicated. There is a picture (only one unfortuanately since my computer crashed years ago and took many of my restoration pictures to their final resting place in cyber space ) on my timemachineslimited website. This was one of my early TOC...
For Sale: Pre 1900 Ladies Crescent Model No.10 - fully restored. Having restored about 75 antique bicycles over a period 35 years it appears this will end, for me, the hobby I've enjoyed so much since 1985. During this past summer I suffered a serious shoulder injury that has now been diagnosed...
Mike, the pattern was derived from a black and white early teens photo of a near identical Wonder bicycle identified on it's reverse side as being being Shapleigh "built" but the date on the headbadge could not be seen in the photo which was taken as a side view. As for the color scheme I could...
Hi Mike,
Sorry I'm so long in responding to your most informative note. The bicycle in the Luxlow ad is, in fact, the very bike that I restored. For some reason I misplaced or more likely mistakenly tossed the information I had concerning from whom I purchased the bike. I usually keep better...
That is very interesting. Considering that by 1912, the year this particular bicycle was produced, the bicycle "boom" at, and just prior to, the turn of the century was pretty much over, it would make sense that Shapleigh Hardware might be able create a lucrative business doing as you suggest...
This bicycle, as I received it was an earlier amature restoration that required a complete "do over" which, to me, means a careful, detailed restoration to the same standard I set for my work 35 years ago. The bike is a 1912 Wonder model. I'm not certain of the actual manufacturer however the...
Fordsnake,
Thank you my friend. Analizing the picture you included allowed me to deduce pretty much exactly what I needed; that is what was hidden in the crank housing that I could not see and what the crank puller was desigened and engineered to do. No, unfortunately I didn't have one.....wish...
Whoops, I hit the wrong button. But heres why I attached these 2 pictures: I need help from someone who has experience with removing the left side crank are on a ladies Crescent Model No. 10 bicycle. I've restored 5 antique Crescents over the past 25 years or so but none have stumped me as...
I am in need of a complete 32 spoke hole front hub assembly in decent condition with presentable nickel plating . It is for 1912 Shipleigh made "Wonder" bicycle. Brand is not crucial
but my 1st choice would be for a New Departure to match the rear Model A Coaster Brake. Reach me at...
Here are a few pictures of a Columbia Model 65 Chainless that I restored 2 years ago. As-found a year before it had what I concluded to be its original wooden rims which were beyond any attempt to restore with servere warping and rot. I wish mine had been equiped with that wonderful seatpost...
Thanks for the prompt reply. There are smooth 28" single tube tires available in 'all black' or 'all white' from RD Tires in West Virginia - the successor to Harper Tires which were also based in West Virginia. The single tube 28" tires RD produces today are a vast improvement over the old...
I assume the tires are 28" single tube type since the pictures of the rims in your first batch of pictures appear to be metal clad wood which would require single tube tires. I can't see in either of these 2 pictures any air valves so my conclusion is that the tires are solid or semi pneumatic...
The bike sold yesterday for my advertised price of $4,000. and will be partially disassembled, packaged, and shipped to a collector in Switzerland who is
also the owner of 26 of my previous restorations. Shipping to Switzerland generally runs in the neighborhood of $500. to $600. which the...
I am not totally familiar with the posting process so I hope you'll take that into consideration if you are reading this. The 1902 ladies Hartford model 32 was restored by Time Machines, Ltd. and completed on January 4th, 2020. The price of the bicycle is $4,000. and it may be picked up in...
The brake arm on this coaster brake - New Departure Model A needs to be replaced to complete the high end restoration underway of this Norvell Shapleigh produced men's "Wonder" bicycle which, based on it's handlebar design and its large diameter drive sprocket, suggests it might, in the...
Jesse, Thanks for reproducing the pictures of the men's Transit I restored a while back; it's always been one of my favorites and attracted much
attention the few times I showed it; once at Trexlertown and another time at Lars Anderson. For anyone that has an interest there are many more...
Pete, I might be interested in purchasing the Truss Frame Iver Johnson as a full restoration project. I recently completed a full museum quality restoration of an 1898 Ladies Model I.J .....model number 46. Pictures are currently up on ebay and there is screwed up ad here on the CABE that I...
PRICE REDUCTION - NOW $3,500.
This restoration was completed a few weeks ago. There are at least 20 pictures of the bike ( including many duplicates which I've tried to delete but have failed). I hope the pictures will give any interested potential purchasers a reasonably clear impression...
I'm restoring an 1897 Iver Johnson Ladies Model bicycle and in need of a drive chain for it. I'd prefer block chain, however in lieu of this type
I would consider any that are in decent restorable condition. The spec's for the chain I require are: 1" pitch ( skip tooth ): it must fit on...
For sale is this beautifully restored 28" ladies bicycle produced by the Pope/Columbia Manufacturing Companyin 1897 as their Model No. 41.
I'm including many detailed pictures of the bike which should answer most questions, however if either additional pictures or specific information
is wanted...

Does any member or guest know a Muscle Bike collector named Lou Makrigiannis - possibly from Massachusetts? I'm trying to contact him regarding a bike he purchased.
I am restoring a men's Pierce that, based on it's #4 Buffalo "The Pierce Cycle Company" head badge and it's New Departure Model A rear hub I've narrowed it down to having been produced after 1907. It's serial number (stamped on the right side chain tensioner is 174006. It has a nickel plated...
Sorry, I misread your ad and offered you $180.00USD; I would like to change that to a firm offer of $210.00 per your ad.
Hopefully you received my earlier note sent to your email address with an explanation that would need the saddle shipped
to arrive by September 27th.

Bill,
Thank you for the nice compliment. I really need to update my web-site. I've actually done about a dozen full restorations since my last update.
I think the longest I ever waited for a set of rims from Noah was 3 weeks and that was about 3 years ago. On average I'd guess you'd be looking...
I'm surprised not to see Stutzman's Wheel Shop not mentioned on this thread. The owner and proprietor is Noah Stutzman and he is a craftsman
with unbelievable talents. He will produce a 28" wooden rim, drilled and countersunk with the number spoke holes that you specify with your order along...
