That is a very interesting story, thank you.I live very close to Bushy Park in Teddington where SHAEF headquarters were based. There is nothing left there now except for a small plaque. The only surviving building from the wartime base is the local Boy Scouts hut. There is still a bicycle...
US cycles are not that collected this side of the pond but there are a few of us.who like them. I picked up this a couple of days ago. I think you call them "Parade Flags"? What era are they, 50s or 60s? Cheers.
I found this catalogue. Unfortunately it's not that clear but the lady front frame is very similar. There are a few on the Online Bicycle Museum but nothing that gives a good match.
Guys, you will be better informed than me. I found this book in a Charity shop, I think you call them Thrift shops. I have a few US cycles, they are not that popular over here, and also collect books about the same. This Schwinn book has a library card holder inside and also the front page is...

That's interesting thank you. We sold a Columbia shaft drive that was from a club members collection and that had engraved pedals. I assumed that they were what had been fitted originally but seeing yours it gives me a better scope. I have quite a lot of early pedals but all 9/16" and not 1/2"...
Hi, I am looking for some pedals for an 1898 Columbia shaft drive. Unfortunately the ones that are on it are very modern and it is difficult to find 1/2" threaded pedals in the UK. They will need shipping to the UK, obviously. Trying to find the correct, engraved, Columbia ones is pretty much a...
