Hi Guys, congratulations Bikejunk for your nice GR bike ; could you please put a better picture of the frame number seen on the rear leg? I read 1867 , or 1887 ? ; This bike is from mid 1941, phase 1 , which means centrally mounted brakes, no GR branded parts, and number engraved on either...

Very good job! Skirt guards would be more appropriate. May be earlier than 1936. Serial number may help to confirm

Hi Carlos, Very Nice bike! Would you please send me pictures of the frame numéro, and of the headbadge? Thx a lot Jean Marie

Hi Guys, this french brand duralumin bicycles was launched 80 years ago, and their production lasted only 12 years ; 36 000 or so were produced ; some still exist suffering till now a lack of documentation, you can find a lot of usefull infos here ; sorry for the french language read first...

thx, will do

Hi Waffenrad , thx a lot for you valuable comments ; my 28 teeth sprocket star pattern is a bit different from the actual Fauber Star ones we can see on this post : - only 3 holes on each leg of the star, like your 26 teeth , when a 32 teeth has got 4 holes ; this is probably due to...

Hi Sacket , no precise idea, but you should contact MrColumbia , ie Kenneth Kowal , who is an expert in this field prices actually depend upon the status of the bike ; anyway spare parts are looked for , and may cost a lot ; for example I need the headbadge and the scarce ones on sale on...

Graig, that makes sense ; do you know where should I look for any markings on the bike ? thx Ejlwheels for the pictures ; it's now clearer to me ; when you write " the drive cover plate" , you mean the one protecting the front gear ? based on your experience, may we say now that my bike...

Hi , thx for your comments , unfortunately my technical english is too poor , and reverso as well , to well understand what you have written by dings do you mean small dents made during manufacturing process ? and EJLwheels, could you please post a picture for each type of fork you...

Hi Dnc1, thx for your comments ; and first my best wishes for 2018 !! here are some more pictures of both sides of the fork head ; now , I really wonder if these marks have any meaning , or if they are just the result of some assembly process ? 3 first picts are the right side , where some...

Hi , I'm happy to have found out my third american bike , here in France ; confirmed by Mr Columbia it dates from 1900-1910 , and even 1900-1901 if the trophy fork is original here some pictures , and more reading in french here...

Hello Max , peux tu me renvoyer ton email privé stp ? merci

thx , done

Nothing on the bottom of the saddle , but I've found out the serial number of the frame 78 266 or 78 265 under the crank axis does that help to find its birth date ?

thx Guys for your comments tell me , Bricycle, what do you mean by bottom of the saddle , the wooden part of it ( see pict )? As it's a Terrot one , it may differ from the bike birth date ; anyway I will check Max, great to have a french comment here ; are you french ? i'ts not really a...

Hi you are right Pelletman, Eagle made bikes till 1905 , if we consider these 2 ads NOS on ebay ; in 1904 , Eagle was still advertising their bikes and in 1905 the doc says Eagle has given up...

thanks for your input Pelletman ; I wish it's a 1899 one, which would be my oldest bike so far but I see at least 2 diffrences between mine and the model 51 : -the upper bent tube arrives largely higher on saddle tube on mine than on model 51 -the chain fender is different and I guess that...

Hi Locomotion , hereunder the picts of coaster arm which reads french and english wordings ; it's a Spencer Rochester NY , most probably imported and engraved in France with RS breveté SGDG ( which stands for "Sans Garantie du Gouvernement" = without government warranty) It may indicate that...

yes , alas, all the nickel silver aluminum painted ; I've started removing it on the handlebar and , when I've time, I hope I can revert to nickel or raw material ; at least this paint makes some protection for the time being on the black paint , I expect I can give some oldish patina by...

thanks a lot which year do you think it might be ? by any chance, could you tell me wher could I find a picture of the headbadge of en Eagle bike of this age , and / or pictures of similar Eagle bikes ? cheers

Hi , I purchased recently this old lady bike , which shows some typical US made features ; rear oblique wheel axis attachment, crank , and head badge holes I like the wooden rims, fenders and chain guard the seller restored it about 10 years ago , but I don't like the way it was re...

Hello , buzy compiling data from the web , here I'm happy to provide an updated but still uncomplete and unvalidated list of US origin truss bridge bikes ; in green the ones for which I have at least a picture and/or documention ; in black the ones to be confirmed and documented indeed ...

Hi , I got recently this bike in Paris , and am busy looking for its make and model ; so far I've found a couple of dozens of archbar manufacturers across France and US , but not been able to determine which one is it ; probably not an Iver J , nor a Westfield /Pope/Columbia if you can...
