Thank you for sharing all your work. It is indeed a useful resource. Its helpful to those who have purchased bikes from Copake to have access to the auction records.

My secret Santa gave me this very cool poster of the annual bike race in Somerville, NJ.

I got a Catrike 559

I rambled home from Copake with this Rambler

A bike as green as the hills of County Cork where 'me ancestors came from!

I got a Litespeed Cherohala, can't wait until the weather gets a little warmer to take it for a spin.

This tire has the magnificent name of "Diamond Giant Squeegee Single Tube Tire Mfd by Diamond Factories Akron Ohio USA Patented July 29 1913." I'm enjoying this tread thread!

1898 Columbia Model 50 Chainless

"Onondaga" bicycle made in Syracuse, NY

If I can get some better tires in 2022, I hope to ride my Racycle Pacemaker Special Narrow Tread (circa 1898) in the new year.

Princeton bike. Any Yales or Harvards out there?

Badged as "The Walnut, Lockport, NY." There was a Walnut Bicycle Shop on Walnut Street in Lockport, hence the odd name.

Keystone Road Racer

1900-1910 Vim, Buffalo, NY

Hi CM, great looking bike. Did you attach the tires with TufoTape?

Keystone Road Racer

I have a similar Princeton bike with a metal headbadge, which says Little Falls, NY, which makes it a Harris/Snyder bike. Good luck with your work!

My Racycle is way cooler than me.

Happy Boxing Day. 2013 Salsa Vaya Travel

Merry Christmas from upstate New York. TOC Vim, Buffalo, NY

I got a second Solar light (the one on the left) for my collection. Slightly different design and patina.

Thanks to a new seat clamp from Rustjunkie, my Princeton bike is back on the road.

Thanks to rustjunkie i am all set.

Hello - I am in need of some hardware for a saddle. The post is an early "7" type of 5/8" diameter. I will post pics of both the post and the underside of the seat. Willing to pay a reasonable price plus shipping. Please PM me or send an email to [email protected]. This is the last piece I...

Keystone Road Racer

I finally have my Keystone Road Racer put back together again, and rode it last Sunday a little. Still need to get a more appropriate seat but nice to have it be a bicycle again rather than a pile of parts. Hudson River, Schodack Island State Park, Castleton NY.

I was the lucky bidder on this "Princeton" bike at Copake. Rides great, braking minimal.

I put a wheelset I made for another bike on the "Onondaga" and rode it for the first time today. The wheels are OK, everything else needs a lot of work! 39 degrees and sunny but no bikinis or lycra along the Hudson, I can't imagine why. Thanks to Scott for the new "Amsterdam" tires.

Not a CABE bike but any February day which is ridable here in upstate NY is a day to celebrate. The railroad bridge in the background is named the Alfred Smith Bridge and was built by the NY Central.

Very interesting - thanks for sharing. I wonder if the compass is ivory?

She looks like a sweetheart whatever you name her. Best wishes!

We had 5 minutes of sunshine today Took a spin on the new Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail in Albany County today. Happy New Year!

This thread is great! Had to post my 1898 Columbia Model 50 here to go with the 1898 Columbia posted earlier.

No Cory I envy all you Cali guys!!

Schodack Island, Hudson River, NY Not an old bike (2013 Salsa Vaya) but an old chimney at the ruins of a Hudson River ice house. Weather 39F and heavy fog, pretty good for upstate NY in December.

Cool bike and history project - good luck with it!

Beautiful bike! Good luck with your sale.

What a fantastic collection. I like your style.

There are some good threads here on dating the Columbia Model 50 so if you do a search you might find the answer. I have an 1898 but I don't know enough to tell you all the points that make it different from 1899 and later models.

Neat Seat! My VIM has a Troxel seat so it is neat to see a VIM seat. I haven't been able to find out much about the company other than it was in Buffalo. The original wheelset on my bike has VIM tires so VIM liked to put its name on many of the parts.

Lamps I was able to expand my lamp collection at Copake - lots of them in the auction and some I could afford.

I would like a set of Velocitys. I'll pester him with an email, too. Thanks FordMike for starting this!
