The woman's bike is a nice, rideable bike from the mid to late 1890's. Original and straight wooden rims with Robert Dean tires. Mr. Brown made the Sager saddle and grips. The bike is unrestored and the maker is unknown. The badge on the bike is a replacement. The man's bike is a LeRoy made...
$100 plus shipping. This is a very nice tire with no wear or cracks. The rubber is soft and flexible. It holds air (at least for several days) and is ready to use.
FS- 15 assorted catalog reprints and booklets for Rudge, Victor, New Rapid, Columbia, etc. If you want them all I will take $65 plus $5 shipping. If they don't sell as a group in a week or two then I will sell them separately. As with all my ads, I apologize for the poor picture quality...
I have 2 safeties to sell. The lady's bike is complete and rideable. Dean tires, Repro Sager saddle, Stutzman chainguard, new wood grips, and new skirt lacing. The head badge is incorrect for this bike. The pictures here are older because I couldn't get the new pictures to load. Maybe it will...
This is a 48 inch rideable but unrestored American Star. It has the somewhat rarer pivot end treadles and the "shift" levers on the treadles that allows you to get more torque on hills. It is a pretty rare bike. Let me know what other images you want. I also added some photos of the 2 safeties...
Offered is a pretty nice LeRoy. If you are unfamiliar with the brand there is an abundance of info here on the CABE. This bike has original paint with pinstriping and most of the nickel is very presentable. It has period New Departure hubs with a Model A rear coaster, new Stutzman maple rims...
This is a nice rideable bike. It is ready to ride a century tomorrow. It was just serviced and respoked by Matthew Stofko. It is badged as a 1902 Model 88 but the badge is incorrect. New tubular tires. I am trying to buy another bike or I would be keeping it. The seat in the pictures does...
I am looking for a rideable ordinary. Restored or original isn't important but would prefer it complete and ready to ride. I would prefer a period bike but would possibly consider one of the better reproductions, especially in an eagle. Not interested in RBR bikes. I am not looking to have to...
This large banner is 29 inches wide and 41 inches long. I am unsure as to the age but I would guess that it is possibly from the 1977 Columbia Centennial but I could be mistaken. It has some fading and a little damaged spot that I tried to show in the photos
This is a very neat page from July 8, 1884. It shows many styles of high wheel bicycles and tricycles. 11 1/4 x 8 Sorry, the picture is upside down again.
This is a neat little advertisement. I think that it is a hand bill/advertisement that would have been handed out prior to the performance. It is a little thicker than a business card and 2 3/4 x 4 1/4. Another upside down picture. Don't know how to flip it.
The date is unknown but this is an interesting original ad from Columbia's short lived venture in making electric automobiles. This page is from an unknown source. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.
Four Matted pages from Schribner's Magazine 1898. All good subject matter and ready to frame. (9x12) If someone can tell me how to rotate these pictures I would appreciate it.
Two matted original advertisements. Both are 5x7. The Columbia ad was from the July 1891 issue of Century Magazine and the American Tricycle ad is from the August 1886 issue of the same magazine.
This is an interesting old lock. I haven't seen one like it. It almost looks like it started life as a screwdriver. It may be overpriced; I don't know, but I like it. The lock was locked back when I first got it and I opened it with the key. It doesn't want to relock. Nothing is broken, it...
NOS Taillight. Still in original Packaging. Another set of upside down pictures. I don't know enough about a computer to figure out how to flip the image.
This is an unopened counter display for Tabu bicycle locks. It is pretty neat and in good condition. 13 1/2 tall by 11 wide. I don't know why the pictures are upside down. I couldn't figure out how to flip them.
Here are 6 antique leather tool bags. They are mostly unmarked but one is a Brooks and one has a logo of some kind on it. I would rather sell them as a group but if they don't sell quickly I may sell individual bags.
This is a solid and complete old bike. It still has its original saddle, grips, and dust covers. It has 28 inch steel single tube rims. The front wheel needs respoking so for the pictures it has a Raleigh 28. The old single tube on the back does hold air and I have ridden it around the...
Hello, I was hoping that you could educate me on how to determine what spoke length is required for two bikes that I am working on. I am far from an expert on lacing wheels though I have done it by simply reusing the old spokes that had previously been on the wheel. I am needing to order new...
I am working on a ca. 1889 G&J hard tire safety and am in need of a crankset with sprocket. I will try to get some photos of what it has later today. It is a rough old bike and am trying to just make it rideable but probably won't be doing an absolutely correct restoration. This bike has the...
Hello,
I am working on an old ca.1889 G&J and thus far have had no trouble with disassembly. I haven't broken or marred a single piece and don't want to start now. I am pretty certain that removing the forks and bars is pretty much like any other bike but I can't get anything to move. I have...
I am working on an old G&J Rambler that I am hoping to be able to save. Before we look into making parts I wanted to see if anyone had any parts laying around. I am needing a rear hub and wheel (30 inch), a front rim (26 inch), a crank sprocket, pedals, chain, and maybe a better set of...
Hello, I just picked up a new project, a TOC LeRoy Safety. I am needing a few bits to get it back together. It has its original hubs and block chain but it is riding on modern 26 balloon tires so I am hoping to find something usable but "patinaed" to replace them with. I am fixing to restore...
Hello Everyone,
I thought that I would see if anyone has any interest in a good highwheel bike. It is a pretty good bike. I would do a century on it without any hesitation.
This is a bike that I don't really care if I sell or not. It rides like a dream and is a work of art. It has a Jesper Solling frame and then was built with Shimano Deore components and Mavic rims. It is a large bike, I am 5 ft 11 inches and I don't think that someone much shorter could ride...
I am reposting this old Bradway racing bicycle. Please look up the original ad to see the bike before I did anything to it and for more history on William Bradway the builder and owner until his death in 1949. I wanted to ride the bike before it was sold so it was disassembled and cleaned then...
Hello,
Most of what I fool with is old fixed gear stuff but I thought that while I was waiting for a few bits to arrive for the old Bradway bike that I would take everything apart clean and grease it up. I haven't worked on a coaster brake hub in ages and this bike has a leverless Musselman...
Hello, I thought that I might sell another old Raleigh. The old bike rides like a dream. The carbide lamp works well plus it has a rare 1949 ASC rear hub. The old shifter is not ideal for the hub as the spacing between the gears is not really wide enough. It was modified and works but it...
Hello,
I have a pretty nice old Super Course Carlton that I am wanting to sell. I bought it earlier this year off of the original owner. He kept everything that came new with it including the sales literature, the warranty and the original down tube shifters. He had the shop change it to bar...
Hello,
I am still needing a single usable 28 inch single tube tire. I bought a set a recently from a CABE member who turned to be a scammer and took me for 118 dollars and then almost convinced me to send him another 118 dollars before I realized what was going on. Thankfully he is now...
I am quickly gathering up everything I need to get this old bike together, thanks to the members of the CABE. I just need a cheap (if that exists) usable 28 inch single tube tire. I have a older universal tire that is still good for one end.
Thanks and God Bless,
Col. Joshua A. Powers
Hello, I am needing a nice usable pair of 28 inch single tube rims if anyone has any laying around. I would rather have wooden but might consider a nice set of clad.
Hello Everyone,
I am working on a TOC Bradway bike. It has Kelly handlebars that were blued with gun bluing. They had surface rust on them but upon cleaning them I discovered that at some point they had been blued. Has anyone ever seen this in period or was this just something that Mr...
Greetings,
A while back I purchased a new set of single tube tires from someone on the forum who was making them. I have lost his contact information. Does anyone recall who it might be?
Thanks and God Bless
I am considering selling this old Bradway bicycle made by W.T. Bradway in Richmond, Indiana. I was told by the former owner that this was a personal bicycle of the builder and that it was acquired from his estate in 1949. She said that it was built in 1909. I would have thought it was a...
