I know that many of my fellow Caber's have expressed their opinions, as I have, about the costs and quality today associated with Nickel and Chrome plating. I personally have made comments on the Forum at various times about the skyrocketing costs for quality Nickel and Chrome plating so I'd...

Seeking a complete front wheel hand brake as might be found on single tube safety bicycles produced prior to 1910. These brake types were often referred to as "spoon brakes" as their function, as activated with rods connecting the hand lever to vertical rod that attached to "sort of" spoon...

I bought this Gormully & Jeffrey's 1890's Ladies model "Rambler" as a future restoration project about 7 years ago and simply never got around to even starting the project. Recent health issues now convince me I should now pass it on to someone that understands what is involved in restoring...

This 1896 Ladies Iver Johnson's complte restoration was completed a few months ago with the intention of consigning it to the up-coming Copake Bicycle Auction but complicated (for me) logistics in getting the bike to the auction site have made me think better of it so I'm offering it for sale...

I have a requirement for a complete rear fixed gear hub with a 1" pitch (skip tooth) sprocket ( the sprocket must be easily removed for access to the spoke holes ). While the bicycle I'm restoring is an 1897 Iver Johnson any funtioning fixed gear hub should work as long as I can easily remove...

Part needed: In disassembling the bottom bracket on my 1897 ladies Iver Johnson restoration project, I damaged, or more accurately, I broke into multiple pieces the right-hand-thread bearing cone. Being carefull not to apply too much heat on the cone for fear of altering its hardness and, given...

Might anyone have a source, or know of one, where I could purchase a pair of the small oval shaped Lobdell wood rim decals? I know they exist out there somewhere. I've searched Ebay extensively with no home runs. Any help would be appreciated.

Wanted to buy: a Delta Battery Canister ( the long version ) as was available for years at bicycle swap meets as well as on Ebay. I believe they were reproduced in China for the seller, Joe Raposa from Rehobeth, Massachusetts and were advertised as recently as 4 or 5 months ago but I cannot...

Wanted to buy: a 6 or 12 volt pancake style, front fender mount head lamp for a mid 1920's Mead Ranger restoration project. I already have the correct frame mounted battery canister so I just require the head lamp itself. Any suggestions on where I might find such an item would be most...

For Sale: Pre 1900 Ladies Crescent Model No.10 - fully restored. Having restored about 75 antique bicycles over a period 35 years it appears this will end, for me, the hobby I've enjoyed so much since 1985. During this past summer I suffered a serious shoulder injury that has now been diagnosed...

This bicycle, as I received it was an earlier amature restoration that required a complete "do over" which, to me, means a careful, detailed restoration to the same standard I set for my work 35 years ago. The bike is a 1912 Wonder model. I'm not certain of the actual manufacturer however the...

I am in need of a complete 32 spoke hole front hub assembly in decent condition with presentable nickel plating . It is for 1912 Shipleigh made "Wonder" bicycle. Brand is not crucial but my 1st choice would be for a New Departure to match the rear Model A Coaster Brake. Reach me at...

Hopefully the attached pictures will tell you all you need to wet spark your interest. The bike is a beautifully restored example of a high quality bicycle built in 1897. My understanding is that Parker Brothers was a high end retail store in the Chicago area that contracted with a regional...

Does any member or guest know a Muscle Bike collector named Lou Makrigiannis - possibly from Massachusetts? I'm trying to contact him regarding a bike he purchased.

I am restoring a men's Pierce that, based on it's #4 Buffalo "The Pierce Cycle Company" head badge and it's New Departure Model A rear hub I've narrowed it down to having been produced after 1907. It's serial number (stamped on the right side chain tensioner is 174006. It has a nickel plated...
