Vintage 1920s BSA track bike fixed gear. 53.5 cm. Condition is Used. Will ship to US and Europe only
This is a great piece of cycling history; it belonged to my father, a serious track rider who rode in the 1950 Olympictrials. He got it from an olderItalian man named Rossi who raced it at the legendary Newark, N.J. Velodrome in the 1920's. My father had the wooden wheels at one point but they have been lost. I don’t know much about bikes but it is in good overall condition. The bike appears tohave the original paint and has name of the racer, “Rossi”, hand painted on the horizontal part of the frame. The sticker on the down tube says “Built by Kopsky NJ”. Kopsky was a well-known New Jersey bike builder in the first part of the 20th century—his daughter was the national woman’s champ. The chain has a early spacing that was common then—I think it is called an inch pitch chain. The wheels are modern and I'm told they are valuable. There are plenty of paint chips and a bit of surface rust—this bike is not pristine. I will try to show that clearly in the photos.
