Bicycle shop stickers

[Eric Amlie]

Here's one I found on a '63 Coppertone Schwinn Varsity.
This was my neighborhood Schwinn dealership when I was a kid.
They started in 1955 as a father/son team.
By the time I got to the neighborhood in 1961 they had moved up the street a few doors into a nicer building and were using this building as a repair shop.
The son of the son still runs his own bike store in a neighboring "bedroom" community.

Hoping that jpromo or one of our other Detroit area members might know something about this store. The store was located at 20945 Grand River in Detroit. Were they a Schwinn dealership? A google search revealed they sold American and British bicycles and used bicycles in 1956. I've seen...

Only decal remaining on frame of 1967 CCM Centennial Duomatic. Wondering if the winged wheel may be a design borrowed from something else (i.e. like the Redwings) and when it was first seen prior to 1967 if so?

Otasco MFG. Used a Winged wheel on a Lot of their badges. Sometimes with a golden halo, sometimes with green,. I think it depended on the bikes scheme. There's One? Still privately open in Ohio, but I don't think they sell bikes anymore. My first knowledge of Otasco Stores was in researching my Flying-O Otasco, my first Vintage. A 1969 Stepthrough Murray custom.

Here is a 1964 J39 Deluxe Stingray from another “Reliable Bicycle Shop“ in the Detroit Michigan area.
Unfortunately someone covered the quality decal, but this dealer decal is super cool.

I have the Original sales information for this Flamboyant Lime bike.

1946 Shelby Flying Cloud

Carver's Bicycle Shop

Looks like it's an empty lot now on Google street view.

Found the obituary of the owner, Horace Carver, here, he passed away in 1992.
