Well took me over 10 years but I did get it painted today. I'll try and get it together and a photo or two when the paint cures some

If you look close you can see a skip tooth chain ring or track ring below the lettering. I think it's Italian

Question: what is the best 26X1&38 tire for a non-hook rim? Or in other words what tire in this size fits rims the tightest?

Just saw these . Their gray wheelchair tires but in the obsolete size 26X1.375 https://www.amazon.com/Sunlite-Wheelchair-Tires-26-1-375/dp/B000AO7LLC/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?keywords=sunlite+tire+wheelchair&qid=1557176518&s=gateway&sr=8-2-fkmr0

http://www.aussievelos.net/deane-toseland-cycles/ I've never owned a real track bike before. This is early 50s (best guess). a survivor this frame has been campaigned.The rims are 80s track rims.

Screaming for a re-paint. I think blue with white accents. Anyone know what the T stands for?

Indecision! Too many good choices.. This is a 1930(or close) Mead Superbe frame. I'll never have original parts to restore it---even if I had the documentation (catalog pics) and I don't. Superbe frames as best I can tell were lightweight versions of English Roadsters. It has good quality tubing...

I can now report I have I.D.ed this frame as a Mead . The head badge ghost does match that used by Mead of B-ham as a Mead Superbe. It's design is for an early type derailer I think used with the Sturmey archer 3 speed to get 6 gears. The lugs and drop outs used were Brampton. The 1929 Brampton...

a friend of mine has a very nice original as you get early post war continental. This bike is exactly like it was when it rolled out the bike shop in San Antonio in 46(except for the tape rapping of the original cables that were starting to fray)

The lightest bicycle in the world. This is a 20" BMX mini. Not too sure there is truth in advertising when it comes to BMX, but I thought you might find it amusing they races these bikes using sew up tires. I guess they could have been built up with gears and drop bars for a mini road bike...

A Texas bike . Built in San Antonio in early 80s.

Road the Emblem built Pierce on the Tweed Ride Sunday. Gotta change out that wore out saddle before I ride it again!

I was going to take up the hobby of Brain surgery, all I needed was some practice....but I ran out of friend real quick, luckily they all needed their bikes fixed!

Saw these lugs on a Raleigh Carlton this past week

Kings Williams is Historic and Arts district in San Antonio. My Royal Codex ridden by Dolly was part of their Live Painting this year

This is a frankenbike built out of a lot of 30s parts I had---It's starting to take shape. Slowly

Bought the fothergill off this board...10? years ago---took several years just to see a decal. Built it our as a single speed 700 but really wanted to go original geared 27" wheeled. Just got the Wheels on and Here's a pic of it's original Campy open C (small neck) shifter and rear Grand Sports

Kind of a slow build--I've had this mystery frame hanging in my work shop for a number of years . Always promising myself I'll get around to it. well I finally cleaned out the shop! sold some bikes but this one still tugged at me---so now I'm building it up.Just got a fork that I think looks...

why are these always missing? Finally found one.

after the demise of Indian M/C the British Cycle Corp ended up with the Indian name as they bought out the dealerships to sell their British makes. Phillips must have ended up with the mead name.

Some time ago my mystery frame and another bike like it owned by another CABEr showed up. Took another look at it yesterday and discovered mine is a touring frame designed for gears and mud guards. The last photo is of the other bike--a BSA racer.

cause people to not only through out old style steel frame bikes but also clean out their garages of accumulated junk? Was this a say 5 year event and now it's run is over? I ask this as it seems several have asked where all the classic bikes went/did we find them all/ etc? Even some have said...

What finish should this Morrow hub have? Date code 04 (1946). Arm had the hard Black out finish but hub body was only painted

Working on a Lacks Flyer for a friend. Lacks was a Texas based auto parts store and the 1946 bike a Monark (?)Version Being the hub has a date code O4 , I take that to be last quarter of 1946. Question is what finish did this hub have? It was painted black, but I don't know if that was the...

Were there companies that specialized in making badges? Or were badges made by the bike factories, or both? Did bicycle factories order badge dies from specialty makers? I've seen badges that look very similar on different unrelated brands(not just different models).
