An Alexander Rocket Bike

[Cory Niekamp]

So here is the Alexander Rocket bike I bought. As you can see, it is in "as found" condition. One interesting feature is the B.C. Jiffy kickstand welded to the bottom bracket tube. The finish on the head badge is bubbled and crusty; it appears this bike went through the fire at Alexander's Paris, Texas workshop.

Best bikes ever ! Fun to change things around on them. I’ve changed these since the picture was taken. All have Dallas bars now

Here is another example of an Alexander Paris Texas bicycle. I went with the pulled back handlebars, shown in the first photo.

I mocked mine up about 100 different ways till I settled on this. Catfish

Any info or parts for a Rocket scooter? I have a frame and fork that I need parts for.

Brant did this mock up I now own. It’s about correct as can be. Most parts on these were bicycle parts

Thanks for posting pix! Did they use 24" or 26" rims? Seems like both would work.

Looking for period correct seat, do you have one?

 

[39Rocket]

24” inch wheels are correct. No I don’t have a seat
