Thanks Mike...v interesting...like that last high wheeler...what brand and model is that..

PIcked up this bronze plaque recently... (ADDENDA Sorry this post was meant for Sunday Show and Tell...oh well it's up now)

Amen!!!!!...

Picked this up couple weeks ago...c1930s California Highway Patrol...for sale $240.00

Thank you for participating...

Came across this full page Gormully & Jeffery ad in Bicycle World...could this "Patented Rams-Horn Bar" be the first gen of drop bars...The endorsements are v interesting...they sound genuine...I like that they give the city they're from...Some of the comments reference a letter they received…so...

Or any documentation of them...or related advertising...any hats or caps?...would like to see a clear photo of the details of one....thanks

Yes a classic...reminded me of this statue I have...

Great overview....have you read a lot of Bicycle World magazines from the 1880's?...it seems to be the number one place for info on the high wheel era...

Mike Cates Sir....The Kangaroo looks much easier to ride...thanks for the great descriptions getting off a high wheel...hopefully it would come naturally after a while...As popular as the high wheel was I speculate it was all worth it...compared to riding a horse...Thanks so much for all the...

Boy that kangaroo looks a lot safer...I speculate you would have to find a post or wall to dismount a high wheel...falling to the the ground off one looks treacherous...Or perhaps with the right balance you get off the same way you got on using the back step...Q. Do they have races at the Benson...

Thanks cyclingday...that's v interesting...would you have any documentation to share...have you ever seen a pair...when you say rolled off the pedal block does that mean there were bearings in the soles...It seems unimaginable marketing something that would injure the tibia...running print ads...

Would anyone have a pair of these "Ball-Bearing Bicycle Shoes"...or know anything about them...Also please post photos of any other shoes specifically for cycling...thanks

V good explanation thank you Mike…Not sure I got it all downloaded into brain but the jist is the high wheel progressed and the drive evolved…good thing for the photos…Sounded like you have might have some personal experience with the wheelies…and headers over the handle bars with the Eagle and...

Fantastic!!!!...thanks for the extra shots...was hoping you wouldn't forget...but that's too much space....you need more room for bikes...I can help you in that area...pack that puppy up and send to Napa Valley... : - )...luv it....

Thanks Mike...that sounds like a great observation you've made...but those terms are over my head...remember I'm a newbie...Let's start with the three men riding high wheel safeties...I know what a high wheel is and I know what a safety is....but what is a "high wheel safety"....Also what is a...

Very cool...I like the admission prices on the second one...where do you find them...

Wow that made my day...they would have removed the wheels and seat for transport...what a case....congratulations...thanks for posting...and of course please LMK if you decide to sell... it reminded me of this photo...

Does anyone have a college bicycle race poster to sell...I'd like to find one for an Ivy League school...Actually I'm interested in any bicycle race broadside poster...that's why I jumped on that little 1911 handbill I recently posted...Below a newspaper clipping of a Brown v Yale 1884...

V cool...carlton like... https://haytrolleyheaven.com/manufacturer/hunt-helm-ferris/

Thanks pelletman and Major Taylor...Upon closer look I noticed the bugler....Of late I'm in the learning curve on cycling club bugles...there was an English one by Henry Keat & Sons in the last Copake auction that I was eyeballing but I spent everything on one item and couldn't get it...Hard to...

I prefer American cycling stuff but I was considering this 11” x 4 1/5” English handbill poster. After I looked up the track Herne Hill and read it is one of the oldest bicycle race tracks in the world…I was still on the bubble till I found a newspaper article on the race and that William Bailey...

Phew...congrats on that....incredible...

Here is my latest greatest pick-up...just came today...I can see from the back it is mounted on card stock and was trimmed...probably to fit the frame…I’d like to examine the back for markings…but not enough to disturb for now…Size had me…It was taken during a Ohio Division L.A.W. meet...Started...

wow on the spoke chart especially...

I believe the inscription reads "Waverly IA" for Waverly Iowa...not Indiana...sorry for confusion...

Please know I’m researching the attached photo of four bicycle racers…On the back are the names of three of the four cyclists…H.C. Nutting, Rue, and Page…Moreover the town and date of “Waverly Indiana 1897” is inscribed as well… Initially I got the photo for the exaggerated drop bars second...

Here's shots from the scene where it was dug up in South Bend Indiana...

https://www.antique-bottles.net/threads/lazells-bicycle-club-bouquet-perfume-bottle-find.699584/#post-782059 I posted this bottle on Antique-Bottles.net and got a lot of interesting feed back...one post gave an ebay link to a Lazell's trade card that references their Bicycle Club...

Hi Fritz....thanks much for posting that handsome tin...looks about 1930's...and in nice condition....it's likely English as Dunlop was an English company...of all the tire repair kits, it's commonly believed Dunlop was the company that invented the pneumatic tire in 1887....or tyre as the...

This is excellent information, thanks so much...at first I was not happy about the mottling but have since reconsidered...it's mostly noticeable when you hold it up to bright light...in the display case with other stuff it doesn't show as much....and on the other hand the mottling speaks to it's...

I recently picked up this finish-line photo. I wanted it because of the triplet coming across the finish-line…and the fact it’s of a finish line and observation tower…and because of all the pageantry, i.e. the bunting and flags across the track. There isn’t much to go on in the picture to...

Carlton like....

Here's another German one I piked up over the last year I think...

Yesterday when I pulled it out of the box I was disappointed with the mottling...but we bonded today...once I got it in the lineup...

This perfume bottle just arrived...

I recently picked up this photo of employees of the March-Davis Cycle Mfg. Co. of Chicago...I was struggling to find information on the company to make sure it was American before I pulled the trigger...when I came across this 2016 thread...TheCabe member Barracuda provided a lot of...

It's not much but it's something...Barnegatbicycles you are the man!!!...I couldn't find anything on him....Doesn't say where Delong was from...but the race was in Madison Wis....Thank you so much!!!...

Can't thank you all enough for all this great information...I learned a lot...thank you to all posters...really appreciate your expertise...From the information gathered here, perhaps Ariston jobbed out their bars to the Cycle Improvement Company...It seems like bicycle manufacturing may have...

Wow...little different than my photo...amazing they are very similiar....thanks for the photo....and they look wooden!!!...

I picked up this photo recently, mainly because I've never seen drop bars like that...Instead of the bar being formed from a single tube…it appears the left and right handles were formed separately…and fastened horizontally into the cross bar in a cantilever fashion…would anyone have information...

Thank you AS-1 and redline1968...AS-1, yes t-shaped seat post does match...There isn't much to go on...but I'm sure this is the best place to ask for help...

Barnegatbicycles, thank you so much for your reply...

I recently picked up this 12 ½” x 10” photo mounted on canvas…I believe it’s a bicycle manufacturing shop…the seller had no history on it…and there is very little in the photo to I.D. what manufacturer…however you can vaguely make out what looks like a makers name in the close-up below…Would...

Sunday 7/2/23 I spotted this Schwinn Black Phantom tandem at the July Alameda Point Antiques Fair…the dealer was asking $1,000.00…I was taken by the chain drive back seat sterring device…Q. is that common on tandems?...I’m into 19th- early 20th century racing bikes so I passed but it looked very...

On the 15th of this month I took the day off work to go to set-up day of the Fort Sutter Chapter AMCA swap meet held at the Dixon California fairgrounds…AMCA stands for Antique Motorcycle Club of America…The Fort Sutter Club encompasses the Sacramento California region…In the past I had always...

Man that is some bike...the only triplet I've ever seen in the wild was at the once a month Alameda Point Antiques fair four or five years ago...it was before I developed a keener interest in bikes...as I recall it was in very original patina condition...and like $1000.00 asking...I'm sure I...

Let’s see your bicycle tins… Antique bicycle advertising tins are pretty rare…I haven’t come across a whole lot of them…here are a couple I have…plus a multi-sport one with a great side panel of a bicycle race scene…I’m copying and pasting from my website…I called the one with the motor pacer a...

Wow what a great bike....congrats...
