Harley Davidson bicycle

[Sarabell4]

Hello,
I am new to the forum and hope you can help me out or point me in the best direction. We have what we believe to be a Harley Davidson bicycle that has been hanging in my parents garage for quite some time. Could you tell me what you believe the value to be? It has wooden rims (one of the tires is missing). The leather seat has come detached from the wood base. But all in all, it seems to be in nice shape. My dad thinks it may have been Army-issued due to the paint color? I can take better pictures if needed. Thank you so much for your assistance!

Sara

Sara ... your fotos suggest the machine is quite authentic. Many of us would
like to see a foto of the bottom of the crank area.

There may be numbers there that could indicate a model year and / or year of manufacture.

Interesting to see what are H-D, steel-lined, wooden, clincher-rims.

Please, DO NOT DO ANYTHING HEROIC, Like Clean The Machine.

Do not tighten or untighten anything. Do not add air to that tire.

Do not oil anything. Treat this machine exactly as you have seen archeologists
on TV treat their findings. This machine IS A HISTORIC ARTIFACT.

Am afraid i cannot give you a monetary value. There is a For Sale / Trade section
in The CABE ... but "fishing" is frowned-upon.

You may want to allow members to communicate with you .. off the line. Are you
able to indicate your home-base computer address, within a public forum ?

After talking with CABE members ... you could arrive at an opinion of value ... add a suitable
amount of moolah to the figure ...offer the machine in the Sale / Trade area ... $XXXX Or
Best Offer. What about shipping ?

Please Do Not Be Rushed.

Thank you for revealing your bicycle here, on The CABE.

i wish you good fortune in your quest to see that the machine is placed in the best hands.

I agree. Nice, valuable bicycle. Don't rush on selling it. You'll get some private messages from a few of the resident sharks who will try to low ball you. Some offers are legit, some are low balls on here. Don't try to restore this machine. It's too valuable to just take it apart, clean up/replace parts and ride like many bikes. This is one of those "preserve" bikes where less is best when it comes to messing with it. Take your time and don't rush to sell. Nice find.

Sara, 1st of all welcome. 2nd, that is one heck of a bike to break the ice with. As many have said, DO NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE BIKE as far as cleaning etc. You will hear that over and over, please listen. Much luck with your H-D bicycle.
