I have a very nice vintage BSA Mens Racing bicycle posted in the classifieds for sale. I am not very knowledgeable about vintage bicycles. I am attaching a few photos that may assist in determining its age, among other things. Any information that can be provided would be very appreciated.

VINTAGE BSA RACER

I am offering up for sale this BSA Racing Bicycle. A very nice early racing bicycle with wooden rims, probably from the 1920's-30's era, BSA sprocket and pedals, nice bike stand, original racing badge and hand pin-striping. This bicycle is in great condition. I will be selling this quickly do to...

Yes AJ we sure did! Let me know if I can do something for you.

About 18 months ago I posted this vintage BSA, wood-rimmed racing bicycle on this forum. I won't go into the details of what transpired after that, but the bicycle has never left my house and is now posted for sale. There were a lot of great discussions about this bicycle and I learned a lot...

I am offering up for sale this BSA Racing Bicycle. Some of you may recall seeing it on here before. It is now for sale again. I am not a bicycle expert. I took this bicycle in on consignment at my antique store. I have had several members express their opinions of this bicycle. I will let the...

This bicycle is no longer available, but I certainly loved the discussion and the education and appreciate all of the help. It is now owned by one of the members of this site.

Here are these two bikes side by side. The other bike is advertised as a 1920's BSA 6-day racer.

Here's a picture from a different angle

I found this 1920's BSA Bike and thought it looked very similar to my bike, except the wheels.

Does this seat help in identification in any way? I'm guessing not.

The bike is at my store. I am going picking in the morning, but as soon as I get there, you can bet I'm taking pictures to find as many answers as I can. This has been quite entertaining for me!

Another question that needs further explaining, what am I looking for? I am seeing lots of pictures in my future!! Lol

Thank you very much for this great explanation. That's the kind of information I can sink my teeth into, facts that you base your opinions on. I certainly can see the knowledge you possess and I thank you for sharing it with me. I believe the next step would be to take the fork off and send you...

I joined for a couple of reasons. one, because it came as a highly recommended resource for learning about bicycles, which is something I am trying to do to better prepare me in my antique business. Secondly, I have a couple of quite rare bicycles I could not find any information on and the...

Thank you for that . I wouldn't say you were rambling, I believe I feel essentially the same as you at this point. The person that the bike speaks to will buy it. Although I have refrained from talking about the sale of the bike, I will say that there is a lot if interest and I have enjoyed...

Thank you for that great explanation

I understand the years of knowledge required to voice an educated opinion sir. But I am getting so many different answers, from many very knowledgable people, such as yourself, that demonstrates that opinions will differ on any item that isn't clearly labeled. It seems you have your "jeans stuck...

What earmarks would make it an American made bike? Just curious. Can you please explain the part about determining the kind of tubing used by looking at the paint chips? Those areas seem so small, how do you determine what the tube is made from and where it originates with that small of a peek...

For the record, most people who have questions regarding items, go to the educated to find information and values. Mike and Frank do it, the Storage War people do it....every reseller in the world does it. But forgive me for asking for advice from you sir. The majority of members on this site...

DID I EVER SAY I AGREED OR DISAGREED WITH ANYONE? Have I been promoting the sale of this bike in any way? I am a damn good picker and a man of integrity, and if you focused on reading the words I have written instead of looking for a reason to attack a person who has been sincere from the start...

Well one thing is for certain, I am getting an education on vintage bicycles and at the end of the day, I am fine with that. I own an antique store in the very historical area between Washington DC and Richmond Virginia. I live right where Captain John Smith grabbed Pocahontas, where there was a...

If you’re like millions of other television viewers who’ve become addicted to the PBS series “Antiques Roadshow”, you might recognize this mustachioed, pony-tailed, over-grown kid who offers his unusual brand of excitement, knowledge and expertise to the world of vintage toys. That’s Noel...

I am not going to say I disagree or agree with you, I am not that knowledgeable. But I would say, Noel Barrett was one of the regulars on Antique Roadshow for many years, on top of his own Noel Barrett auctions. Seems like his specialty was toys, bikes, pedal cars and such. I guess I find it...

I'd say the selection at this auction was pretty decent. My bicycle was in very good company. They had a few nice ones.

Thanks again for your help. I was actually able to find this bike in this auction through some help of one of the CABE members. As it happens, I was able to get the original program for this auction from the same place the bike came from, and it is definitely in there and listed as a 1920's...

Thanks for all your help

Your response was appreciated...all the way up to the "Hello, Duh?" What purpose does that serve. I expressed that I was not knowledgeable on bicycles...does that mean that you respond like that to someone looking for answers? Now I'm an A hole? I've been polite and respectful to all that have...

One in every crowd. I guess being polite and expressing your opinion doesn't work for everyone.

Looks like we have the same handlebars. Any chance that there were different models or design changes throughout the years? Quite a bit of similarities. The seat is one thing I do not think is original to the bike. But I am certainly realizing that there are lots of little nuances in bikes that...

I have this very rare child's bicycle which I posted on here quite awhile ago. It is a very rare bicycle. I say that because I have yet to be able to find anything on it. It was made by a company that specialized in pedal cars, BMC. This bicycle is called a "Featherweight" as can be seen in the...

I have has this bicycle up for discussion on this site for a couple of days to get the opinions of its members. Some do not think it is a BSA bicycle while others disagree. I do not know for certain so that is my take on it. What I do know is that it is definitely a vintage racer, it has...

Not a problem at all. I am honoring my word. I was posting quite a few pieces on Ebay today and I included the bicycle while I was at it. I am currently working on the post for this site and I do truly appreciate the input from it's members.

I have been responding directly to the people that have expressed an interest in the bicycle, sir, but you are correct, I have not posted it here as of yet. I have offered it to people on this site for less than what the price is on Ebay because of the help that has been provided. Thanks for...

I really appreciate this picture. If you put the picture of my bicycle side by side with the pictured provided in this link, they appear identical, minus the handlebars. Could those be a style of a different year model or an add-on to their bikes?

Yes, the bicycle is now posted on EBay. I have let a few people on this site that have expressed interest, know the terms I could accept on the bicycle, outside of EBay.

I appreciate everyone's input on this bike. As expected, there are a wide range of opinions as to the make of this bicycle. Some believe it is an original BSA bike, due to the nickel plated fork, pedals and sprocket. I also saw these same handle bars on an original BSA while searching. That's a...

I own an antique store, but bicycles is not where most of my knowledge lies. I was picking a gentlemans home who has one of the nicest collections of classic cars, motorcycles and toys you will ever see. While there I stumbled on this wonderful bicycle. It is for sales as soon as I determine a...
