Happy St. Patties Day

This one fell into my slights this week. De Rosa with updated campagnolo group and the bonus of the Shamal wheels. Rides great. Happy huntin.

1958 Stucchi

My New Year’s resolution ( I am not buying anymore bikes) almost lasted 3 weeks. But there is no cure. The first is a 1988 Ritchey Force Comp, only sold in the Canadian Market. Just enough patina to be interesting and a great rider. The second is a Bianchi Reparto corse, with campagnolo group...

1977 Sekine GTO

1977 Sekine GTO made in Japan. The turn signalS are sequential like the old Cougars. Has a brake light. It takes 8 D cell batteries to run the lights and 1 9 volt to run the radio. This adds to the 50pound weight of the bike. The head light is power by the generator.

i found this old Cramerotti. Serial no. 26, campagnolo group set. It has original paint And up graded parts. It rides nice. I also found this light set, I have never seen before. I think they are English or from Europe there are no markings on them. Thanks have a great week

Spaceliner

Old rat bike, 1953 Hiawatha. The tail light is a dash light from a WW2 Lancaster bomber.

Old rat bike, 1953 HIAWATHA

Made on Mars. Imported by NASA. This is the rare one as they usually have 3 pedals.

I have found a few in the last week. 1. 1997 Marinoni from the original owner. Complete with ultegra group set. I finally found one in my size. 2. 80’s Specialized Sirius, I got it for parts as it have a complete 105 group on it.rides great. 3. 1997 Klein attitude race frame. I got for a winter...

It is a circus bike. An elephant rides it

I picked up a 1997 marinoni. Nice condition, this one’s been on the list for a long time.

Foot pegs on a coaster brake bike, great idea

Another oddball. It is a late 60’s early 70’s road bike. Jupiter Beat. Has hexagon tubing, 27 inch tires and 10 speeds. When the 10 speed craze hit in the early 70’s. This was one of the first offerings. It weighs slightly less than a VW beetle. It has been in storage for a long time. Has...

I found a couple of Dutch Primus seats. Not sure what they are going on yet. They each have 7 springs and weigh just over 4 pounds each. Happy huntin.

Jesper, thanks for the photo. I have not found the head badge you posted. it dose look new that mine. I can not imagine that there would have been 2 Stucchi bike manufacturer, but I have been fooled before. Interesting stuff. Here is an update on the Stucchi. For now while I collect parts it is...

Jesper, yes please post the head badge in the Italian head badge thread. Thanks

Thank you Juvela, your knowledge is considerabl. Thats what I love about the CABE. I will be on the lookout for era correct parts. Enjoy the ride

I have gone through a couple of boxes and found these so far. I need levers. They May be in another box. Thanks for your help. I will probably not start on it till next winter. Here is what I have so far.

WOW Thank you all for your support. This is great information. I do have an old Valentino derailer set and some campi brakes that my find there way on to this bike. But right now it will be on the rack until it makes its way to the front. ( it may jump the que). In the mean time I will continue...

I know nothing about this bike other than it is Italian And I think it is a city bike not a road racer? Any info would be greatly appreciated as there is very little on the web. Thanks

Only 2, first is a 51 to 53 cm vintage Hetchins curvy. In just about any condition. Second is a BMX Haro Monocoque. It dose not have to be complete, i would start with a frame. And I will try to Thin the herd and sell about 10. ( wife laughs hysterically in the background ).

Interesting piece. I wonder if it is ment to go with this piece, that I have also had for years. It is also a Shimano FF system. It is the front gears that has a freewheel. Sheldon Brown described it as a solution looking for a problem.

Almost a bike just missin the wheels

$2650 and made in china. progress?????

Would it be possible to move this to the tricycle section. thanks

I posted this on the Sunday‘S show and tell. Any information is appreciate. Apparently bought new in 1940?. It has a chain drive, solid tires and goat skin covering. You pull the reins to steer. I have only found a picture of one on the net and an add. The add dose not name the manufacture, but...

Another odd ball. Apparently it was bought new by the original owner. (102 years young) In 1940. I can not find a manufacture‘s mark on it. It is chain drive solid, rubber tires and it steers by pulling the reins. The covering is goat skin and the mane and tail are wool. It now sits in front of...

Happy Sunday. I got a couple this week. A Ritchey, a Tim Hortons bike ( it’s Canadian thing ) and some springy kids shoes that I might let the grand kids try out. I do not know the model of the Ritchey, I am thinking it is an 88 or 89. The Ritchy is a keeper ( needs some work ). The Hortons will...

Dnc1, unfortunately the pictures were to fuzzy on my phone and ipad And the zoom made it worse. Also the bike has been sold. Thanks everyone for there help, have fun bik’in.

Dnc1. I will post some picture, but I will be away from the bike for another week. Thanks

Hello all, I hope everyone is having a great summer. Here are a few I have picked up in the last month. A Klein, a couple of BMX’s and some Ritchey’s. Also a few old frames, 1921 CCM, Schwinn and a Rollfast. That is it. Have Fun😀

Thanks for all of your support. I do not think it is a Chatter Lea. I think the bottom bracket lug is the only Chatter Lea part on the bike. Here are some more pictures of the lugs. Thanks

Hello all. I have this bike that I can find very little info about. There is a decal on the steer tube. With a magnifying glasS I can read “the Hunter “. Also there is a British fox hunting scene, with the fox and the horses in full gallop. I think it is from the early 20’s based on the...

These are the best pictures

Thanks for all the info, I am trying to get the serial number. A friend in another city has it, more pictures and serial number has been coming in slow. Thanks again

Hello, could you tell me what years Schwinn balloon tire bikes had this head badge. Thank you

i just got this. Around a 1958 Stucchi road bike from Italy. The original drive was from Universal, some parts have been changed. It will e on the back burner for awhile. HAPPY FATHERS DAY.

One more. 1988 Norco RPM. To some, the monocoque bmx was the future of BMX, it was very short lived. Specialized and Haro and I am sure others also made monocoque’s. The RPM’s are probably the rarest. This one was raced at the world championships in 2000. Thanks

Another one. 1981 Sprick. Made in Germany, advertised as “ the bicycle of the future”. Funny thing is none of these advances got off the ground. Sachs 3 speed coaster brake. Thanks

Great thread, I love odd balls. This one is a 1909 Resilient Royal Centaur. Very English. The girder frame was only made for one year. It has an Armstrong 2 speed bottom bracket. It needs some work that should be done this winter. Thanks

One this week. A Masi Soulville 7. It has a Sram internal 7 speed hub with a coaster brake That is in disrepair. Great finds this week. Happy Mother’s Day.

Another oddball. This is a Giant cadex 2. From around 1990. It has carbon tubes the glue into alloy lugs (very light). I bought it for the CAMPAGNOLO wheels. It also has a Rock Shox fork made out of magnesium. I have never seen one, I am guessing that they all broke before the could become...

Just for fun, something simple. A tinker toy piece, some old bolts and a propelle.

AndyA - no mouse I just tie a 1/4 inch nut to the string and let gravity do the rest. Yes you can play a tune on the handle bars, I would not recommend hanging them where there is wind😀
