This a swedish Crescent, most likely made in 1937, but with a newer 40'ies rack. It's in the stainless series, all shiny parts except the hardened ones are made of 304 stainless steel. A rare bike in that color.

Miller, not mine.

Tried so many techniques over the years, but nothing has gained such a good result as with Finess pinstriping tape. It's a template tape with pre cut stripes, you can choose width, how many stripes you like in their catalog or special order to your specific need. This is one of the bikes i did...

Cool! https://auctionet.com/sv/2914353-cyckel-3-hjuling-fairy-the-worthington-mfg-co-usa-18-1900-tal

Even with quite a lot of wear, you won't notice any problem if you use the bike as a casual rider in normal pace. Don't worry about it. Much worse if it had been one of the wheel or crank bearings. PS: i have a lot if swedish Monark bikes, this one is from 1949:

28 x 1/2 x 5/8 IS 44-635 on a swedish bike. They didn't use 622 mm from the 1930'ies to the 1980'ies or so. You might need a tire tool to force the tire edge over the rim edge. This is risky though, you might puncture the inner tube. Btw, if the old tires aren't damaged, use them, because they...

I have this swedish one

In order to add to the confusion😄, i have this swedish 28 tire made by Trelleborg, clearly marked ballong (balloon in swedish). Must be really old because of the spelling of the word "fälg" as "fälj" wich means rim. The only 28 inch ballon i have ever seen or heard of in over 25 years of bicycle...

I correct myself, must be a 1947 only, due to some details in the frame/paint work. Got a original and unrestored 1952: http://veterancykel.se/Crescent-1952-herr/mobile/

It's a swedish Crescent, made between 1946 to 1949. All original, nice!

Yes, checked this thread earlier, didn't help, although very nice bells!

Hi, can anyone date this ND bell accurately? Thanks!

Not quite true, only certain towns and under certain years were obligated.

Correct, i will take some pictures of my top if it helps.

Really cool, especially the upper one. The other one i have seen before, most likely made in Germany. They came in to market in the 1910's and sold up around 1930's. There would be a black metal box containing the battery. Got a catalogue picture somewhere, i get back...

Got the brass top of this bell, would like to find out the maker of it in order to locate the rest of it. Does anyone for sure know the maker? I have some good guesses...🙂

Thanks, good to know. I sold the bike as i found the other 1902 in far better condition. The guy who bought it has got it back on the road again, his skills with the lathe surely helped, since this bike had several bearing issues. Here's how it looks now:

It's a lock to lock and centers the front fork in order to park against a wall.

It's a newspaper holder, i been told.

Yes, I'm thinking about restoring that, the frame has been at least partially repainted, maybe just wirn of on the lugs.

My Rambler 1902 is finally rideable again, probably hasn't seen the roads for decades. The rear wooden rim was so warped that the wheel wouldn't even turn, but after the rim was spoked down, the joint reglued with epoxy and clamped in a jig, dried, put in water for a couple of days, repainted to...

Bought it yesterday, really nice! Not for sale.

Got about 100 swedish vintage bikes. Here's some of them:

The code can be found online, there is a guy who have list of them if you state the serial no. Don't know he is is, but should be googlable. The bike is Norwegian, i think, certainly not Swedish or Danish.

https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/really-old-nd-2-gear-hub-info-please.199754/

Got 2 of those. Both replated. One of them had traces of green color in the background. It appears in a danish bicycle catalog from 1912, guess they made the a long time.

Earliest 1959, because this is the first year with the Pepita pattern on the frames (checkered black and white) on this swedish Crescents. https://www.raketsport.com/cykel_moped_mc_58.htm

Took it apart and cleaned it, was curious about the condition and construction. Rather ordinary planetary gears, but somewhat flimsy design of the clutch mechanism which locks the sun gear. Very fiddly to assemble again, I guess this may be a clue why these are scarce, maybe not such a great...

Hi, can anyone date this hub, please? Must be rare? Got a swedish patent text on the brake arm. I found out that the swedish ND patent was granted in 28 of january 1899.

Yes, it's a registration plate for bicycles, this particular one locally for Stockholm. Was mandatory 1891 to 1939.

The handlebar is original, I now found it in a catalogue.

A friend of mine bought this bike today in a fleamarket in Stockholm, amazing find! I guess it's from around 1898 or so, can anyone date it better? Is the handle bar original?

Used to own this 1936: http://www.veterancykel.se/Nordstjernan-1936-herr/mobile/ But sold it since i found a really nice 1937 and a 1938 ladies.

Thanks, kind of you. The tires are swedish made Trelleborg, made in the town with the same name. A pretty old factory, but stopped production of bicycle tires around 1990. Too bad, since these tires were of very high quality and offered a very smooth ride. My last pair of NOS....🥺

It's a swedish Rambler, made by Husqvarna for the earlier Rambler importer Albert Öhmans. They started making swedish ones after the import stopped. But Öhmans didn't have a factory, so they commissioned them to Husqvarna in early years. This one makes me really excited, because it's the...

BTW, the King bike is from the 40'ies, the ornament is unique to King. Oil lamp way to old for that bike, but looks kinda cool.

This kind of lugs are called ornament in swedish. The US Rambler started this around 1900, the Ramblers made in sweden from ca 1907 and forward also had them, although slightly different. For some unknown reason severeal swedish brand started to have their own ornaments around 1928. This spread...

Hi Mark, forgive my late answer, your info is very valuable to me. I been quite busy in restoring another bike, but now I will have time to adress th Rambler again. This bike is the culprit: https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/newly-restored-1938-swedish-crescent.195169/

Hi guys, yesterday I finished the restoration of a quite rare bike, a 1938 Crescent with optional stainless steel fenders and rims AND optional 192 other parts in stainless steel. In fact, all shiny parts except for hubs and chain wheel are made of 304 stainless steel. Never seen this combined...

The bike is most likely from 1935-36. The bike has been repainted, originally the standard color was black with ivory stripes rims and fenders and also a ivory geometrical decal wing ornament on the front sides and the fork. The Vinco hub was made by Wiklunds themselves and was developed from...

Thanks for your input, Mark. The decal belongs to the bicycle importing company called Europeiska Cykelimporten (ECI) and was founded and owned by Mr Thord Lönnqvist. He was also a keen bicycle collector, this bike came from his collection wich was sold after his death. It was then acquired by...

You are right, the "successors to" badge hole looks crude and the screw don't match the head badge screws. And looks like some one used some kind of glue also. This really puzzles me, why in the world would anyone do this and how did they got hold of the badge? And how did they even know this, i...

I haven't found any markings at all on it, but i suspect that it might be US made due to the design of the fastening clamp.

You're probably right, it didn't work well with a bottle or can. Too bad, hoped to have beercans on it...😆

Bought this Rambler 1902 yesterday from a museum, looks very original and amazing condition for it's age. However, the back wheel wood rim is warped, some repainting on the frame has been done and some minor things are not original, but overall a very nice bike. It was sold new in Sweden where I...

Well, it's to new for your bike anyway, this model came in 1951. If you still want the exact model, buy a new one, these are very common in Sweden and easy to find on Tradera or make an ad here https://www.facebook.com/groups/chfpryltorg/?ref=share or ask me if i have one...😁

You asked before, my friend, the answer is still the same: https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/crank-removal.188604/#post-1275465 😉😃

From a swedish undated post card:

There is a tools that it's meant to be used, however IRL, it's best to use a mandrel and a sledgehammer, normally they sit very hard and often breaks the tools intended for it. Always use rust solver, knock lightly but firm with the hammer all around the bearing race and the front edge to...
