dick power

[kccomet]

thanks for the interest and commets in this thread. ive wanted a dick power bike ever since i saw one years ago, i love old racing bikes and their history. i esp like new york builders and racing history. i bought these from a friend who had bought them from the original owner. one is a 1955 the other 1957. these bikes were loved and cared for, the name is cool, dick was prob a tough kid growing up. he was a racer, rider who built some beautiful custom bikes. heres a couple more pics

The Dick Power bikes are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the pics. The photo of Power participating in the June '41 race caught my eye as well. I have a photo from the same race showing riders in the "A" class.

Hi John. These bikes are treasured pieces in my collection. They are well cared for and are not for sale. Best wishes in your search.

Thanks for the information and if you know of others around share my interest in knowing more about those that are still out there. Be well. My son, Dick's great-grandson with the long lost miniature bike.
