At least for chainless bikes, all of the ABC brands were homogenized with the Columbia model in 1906, according to a chainless maintenance manual by Columbia.

The trash is the best place to find a bike, unless you dig it out of the woods...

Isn't there an old coot with retirement hobby of fixing up old lawnmowers in a small town near you? It's almost time for them to pull out a line of them in the yard...

The rectangular hole for a switch makes me think bicycle rack too.

I'll take it! PayPal is easiest for me. I'll PM you with shipping info.

Check in with The Wheelmen on facebook. That is definitely their sort of thing, and the Massachusetts chapter is pretty active: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thewheelmen/

That's stylish!

Can you post more pictures of the crazy fork?

ACK! have to register to see the post, but an impressive load by someone who uses multiple bike trailers a LOT" https://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=240676&p=1748471&hilit=%22bike+trailer#p1748471

I'll take a hardcover if still available!

I'll take the ones with the engines. Let me know how you need to be paid.

Short notice! I live a few miles away and hadn't heard about this. Thanks for posting!

Ouch! I don't think Jonas is heading back to the fish factory anytime soon... I'm working next to a twisty hilly road popular with sporty cars and cyclists and some of the bicycle bearings are squealing as they come down the hill. It's kinda scary.

Yep. They're out there.

Or just add a pulley to the crank axle, or a gear for the whine.

Neat! I like the chainguard- where is it from?

Urethane! For making molds and for casting the final product. Lots of info out there, this guy on youtube is informative and entertaining: https://www.youtube.com/@RobertTolone You will need a vacuum pump and chamber, and an air compressor and pressure pot. Cheap ChiCom versions are more than...

LEDs are your friend for decent headlights. Upgrade to a 12v bulb running off of a 9volt battery is a start. This light for the front made my commute much safer. Other options are available. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005WPFVPC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You want a cheap house? go to southeast Iowa. There is so much excess housing stock real estate ladies don't even want to bother with the scruffy ones. "We're not going to sell your grandma's house" is an actual quote. I've seen houses on a lot in town with utilities hooked up sell for...

I was in the garage- I'll take arm Number One. PM now sent...

Do these only have the end shown in the picture or are they double ended?

Thornproof tubes help. But unless I'm commuting (with a spare tube) I'll use a patch kit. Take your time, do it right and it will hold! Use the sandpaper, get good coverage with the glue and burnish the heck out of the patch until the plastic layer comes off by itself. I've never used the old...

The rider is still upright. I vaguely remember reading that the rise in the bars was for knee clearance. and the grips were in the normal position.

No accounting for taste....

Chrome plating is not illegal in California... Using hexavalent chromium will be after 2027, and good riddance- it is nasty stuff. Trivalent chrome is and will be legal. It is a different process and some shops won't bother to adapt.

I prefer them still!

Usually the cable spins to the right. Chuck it into an electric drill to check. And grease the heck out of the cable housing to keep the noise down. Maybe the brackets are left and right?

No that's an egg!

40 hole rear is British standard up to mid 20th Century(?)- are the threads BSC (British Standard Cycle)? There were some proprietary threads too, but this hub is complete and ready to go on your clubman!

I like it! If there is exposed steerer tube between heads, "something" needs to done with it- wig-wags, propellers, whirling disc of death...

Ask the man who built one: http://geared-facile.blogspot.com/

I'll take the No Hands without the dust jacket. Book Rate shipping is fine to 94110.

1987 Nishiki Ariel. Old picture but it's back on the road and a darn nice bike!

Nah, Joisey Shoah.

I'll take a pair- let me know what shipping would be to 94110. I could conceivably pick them up, but probably not.

Better tubing definitely would help, but you'd have to build your own frame! Light and responsive bikes were made in the 1890s. By the 1930s bikes were all using gas pipe, but high quality aircraft tubing was available.

Someone here was selling aluminum reproductions a few years ago. Dig through the board and you can probably find them. Same story with originals- they show up for sale here occasionally and may not have sold.

Nice seats! Here's a useful site for getting a rough date on Btooks saddles: https://www.kurtkaminer.com/brooksbadges.html

Interesting. At least into the 1920s Iver Johnson tried to sell bikes to adults as transportation. And all US manufacturers seemed to make diamond frame lightweights through the 1940s- I'm not sure how those were marketed. Schwinn put up a good effort with the New World, Superior and Paramount.

I have headbadge for a DeSimones San Jose "Golden West" bike- no bike attached, but it has a 1920's-1930s look to it. Local legend has that they were very active in the bay area velodromes.

The Barfight Bruiser wasn't considered kid friendly.

A little rooting around found Bingmaster was a trade name for Bingham Hardware based in Cleveland: https://case.edu/ech/articles/w/w-bingham-co

Barnes built a "White Flyer" -here's one a little earlier than yours: https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/barnes-white-flyer-special-model-20.156682/ I've never seen one in person. EDIT: According to the Wheelmen, they went out of business in the bicycle bust of 1899-...

Oh... I didn't get that far. It wouldn't hurt to give them a phone call- old fashioned, but it will probably connect you with a human eventually, who might have more information. Just a suggestion, not necessarily a good one.

Their website doesn't look like it's on life support. They list a dogbone for 99.00 USD https://slingshot.myshopify.com/products/dogbone
