Just bought what I think is a wartime Murray built Elgin lightweight with stamping:

I was hoping to nail down the year.

Bring my old rusty bikes in the shower with me and I can remove the rust on the bikes while at the same time maintain an itch free, dandruff free scalp.
Hope this...
I've been in this building over a dozen times in the last few years and just today noticed the most awesome building decoration ever. Not only that but there are three of them!

Thanks for looking.

Free delivery to Memory Lane of this wonderful set of tent weights. Thought Catfish would get first dibs on this pair. I'm interested in trading for something of less weight than these "tent weights".
Note: I will be needing these for securing my tent while attending Memory Lane.

Patric,
I have a patch of midwestern moss that is soon to be out of a home. The garage to it's south is soon to be no more. The moss will not likely survive the oncoming destruction of it's protective neighbor (the garage).
Open for any interesting trades.
Also if interested, let me know the...
I finally finished my Troxel project and wanted to share to get opinions and thoughts on market value on saddle restorations. I enjoyed this project and I was trying a new idea to replicate the patterned bottom piece of duck cloth by using a thick rubberized paint and "scratching" the grooves in...
I was wondering what makes these specifically Davis? Did Davis make them or did they just happen to come off a Davis bike? What other bikes would this have come on? HD perhaps?
Thanks in advance.

I have some shirts in stock right now but I can also design and print custom shirts if you have a pic of any head badge or image you wish. These are not mass produced so small individual runs are possible. I use several photoshop filters and hand touch up much of the images to achieve the final...
Here you can post any WWI bicycle literature or fun fact.
Starting with this piece from Oct 1917 when bids were submitted to get the first 10,000 military bicycle contract.
It is interesting to see the different terms and rate of delivery. Also no bid from Great Western at this point? And...
Looking for a 1920 Harley Davidson single owner, original paint, museum quality Diamond frame with bottle cap badge. Tires would be nice but not necessary.
I don't have much money at this time but let's see what you've got and see if we can work a deal! Open to creative trades and bartering...
Here is my little path racer rat. Specialized rock hopper with some 70's raingutters, flipped 1936 ladies bars and my frankinsaddle made from Vetta mtn bike seat carcass, an old Schwinn Approved 70's suburban saddle hardware and some customized padding and re-upholstered. I need some nicer...
I just acquired a pretty rare book and I'm pretty excited to have. It was written by George Strong Lewis. He designed the 1st Silver Kings as well as being the Vice President and Manager at Mead Cycle Co for a number of years. He also is credited with several inventions and designs that were...
Just picked up this beaut. I've already done a basic breakdown and cleaning. Older repaint (last 10-15 yrs???) with just red and silver over the chrome parts. I'm taking off some of the silver paint to see the condition of the chrome or what's left of chrome. I wasn't sure if the fork was...
A set of matching Goodyear All Weather Air Wheel G-3 tires. One tire has mold tabs still and little wear. Other tire has some wear but in good condition for show. Cracking on worn tire more prevelant than the newer tire but cracking on worn tire is not continuous, only sporadic. Newer one has...
I'm looking for an early Chicago Cycle Supply badge that has 3 1/16" vertical spacing.
I'd also take an Edwards & Crist badge with the same spacing.
Let's see what you've got!

Yet another gem from the digital library at hathitrust.org!!! First up this 1922 catalog. Original from Princeton University, digitized by g00gle.

Carlton's thread got me looking into patents again and I was able to find a link to the court's decision in:
Battery Patents Corp (1st Silver King producers) - VS - Chicago Cycle Supply (most of the Schwinn stock in the 30's were badged by this outfit (I think...
Found this lovely little lady bike on ebay and a deal was made. Another deal to have it transported to the Arlington Heights swap on Sunday and it was in my hands.

Here are some clips I've found on International Stamping and it's President, Walter Green that I wanted to pass along.
from "Manufacturing and Wholesale Industries of Chicago" published in 1918
Found this pretty interesting: He sold over 500,000 mud guards for motorcycles...
George Lewis had designed the first Silver Kings and didn't appear on any SK patents after 1935-6. Was there a split in leadership? He was not involved in the wingbar or flocycle designs that I know of.
Before designing the Silver Kings he was President of Mead Motor Company in 1904 and...

On a 1915 Ranger Superbe Motorbike.
Chris (Fat Tire Trader) was kind enough to scan and post this 1915 Ranger Superbe Motorbike model. It even mentions the sloping angles like a motorcycle.
This is the fork that I said looked like the 1918 Harley trussed fork. In the ad I used (B+W...
Here is a glimpse into that short lived Shelby company that formed in 1922 with some interesting names as incorporation members.
This would have pre-dated the Shelby Cycle Co that made the Lindy which all the info I have read says it was formed in 1925.

There are lot's of different Excelsior's out there and hopefully I can document some of these different companies and fill in the time lines of the what they built and or sold.
Excelsior Supply Co of Chicago was the founded by George Robie. Here are some clips from a 1903 Motor Magazine...
