Old Bike Friends, Here's your chance to own a fine example of turn of the century American manufacturing. A buddy of mine barn-found this rig back in the mid-eighties in the same condition as you see it in now. Upon acquisition, I removed the front wheel and tucked it in a box as a "someday"...

This 13/16" dia. post came out of a teens lady's bike. A bit over 18" long with decent plating. Nice and straight with a few scuffs and scars as you'd expect for a 100 year old bike part.

One pair of brand new Robert Dean 28" tubulars. $300 plus actual shipping. They're 28" x 1 3/4" in all black with slick tread. They look great on old wood hoops. The pictures tell the story. I was going to use them on a rider project, but have come up with another solution.

Bike Friends, I'm building a house and need funds! I've decided it's time to part with my Bluebird. I've owned it since the early 80's when a delinquent type person dragged it in bits and pieces into the bike shop where I worked . At that time (and still,) I was known as being the "old bike...

A brand new NOS early/rare Huret rear derailleur. These units were used by Louison Bobet to win the Tour de France and a couple World Championships back in the late 40's-50's. Known as the "Tour de France" model originally, it became known as the "Type Louison Bobet." It was a popular model...

Here's a beautiful example of a nearly all original Schwinn middleweight. I've been riding this bike around for the past 2 weeks. It's perfectly aligned, the wheels are true and all spokes have tension. The chrome on this bike is super nice. The S-7 rims are the cleanest I've seen in years. The...

Fellow Speed-O-Bykers, I have a beauty for you! I found it in a friends junkyard under some Model T parts. I saw it last fall, but it was already frozen into the ground. Had to wait until spring to dig it out as it was partially buried in the dirt. I have the original tubular tires, but...

Bike Peeps, I'm trying to correctly gear my Westfield Empire w/ ND 2-speed for my early morning climb. I have a 24 tooth ring on the bike now but underdrive is too much for my tired old legs. I see someone's selling NOS 22 tooth Wald rings on ebay, so that's an option. Wondering if anyone's...

Bike Peeps! Still looking for a New Departure double D shifter and cable. Crusty is fine. I have the pulley. Thanks!

Friends! I'm looking for a Schwinn forebrake lever, scripted or not. Also needing a New Departure DD shifter and pulley. Crusty condition is fine as both items are for personal riders. Thanks! Bicibob

Does anyone recognize these bars? I'm not familiar with the whizzers, but these grips both twist as all throttles should. They're a unique bend and the cables route internally. Thanks, Bob

I like to tell a story about the items I sell here on the Cabe. You see, this isn't a business for me. It's my life. I purchased this chain in 1972 from an old man who was in the process of closing his bike shop. The stickers on his door told the story. New Departure, Wald, Bendix, Torrington...
