Its a long story. But basically I bought one of two tandems that came out of the attic at Island Cycle in Minnesota. I believe it was about 1978 or so. I completely disassembled it and found multiple issues including cracks in the back steerer tube and crank, of course the extra bar brazed...

Last time I visited my LBS the owner showed me a bike he purchased many years ago from someone who brought it to the shop wanting to sell it. Apparently it was brought in by a family member of the original owner. The bike is thought to be an early 1900's Elgin. I'm out of my element here so...

In amongst a large box of parts from an old bike shop that I acquired years ago are some NOS Renold 1/2 x 1/8 chains in their original tins. The document in with each chain is dated 1933. The tins are a little rusty and the graphics are almost gone. What would be a fair price to ask for them?

I recently completed the rebuild on my 1950-1956 BSA, Birmingham Small Arms, StreamLight. I've been commuting to work on it for the past couple weeks. The bike is pretty original though I have replaced the seatpost, saddle, tires, pump, grips, and shifter. The shifter is a BSA "Snap" and is...

Wanted '50-56 BSA 3 speed hub or parts. I specifically need an axle and the indicator chain/rod assembly. Interested in a complete hub too. My BSA twist grip is incomplete and I'm unable to find a diagram so I can see what I am missing. If you have a complete one or parts I am interested. Thanks!
