Hi everyone, I'm Eri and I just bought my first vintage bike.
It's not here in the city with me yet, so I don't have too many pictures, yet it's already baffling my friends and I!
My mom (who picked it up, it's in the city she lives in) has examined it, but it's been repainted several times and the serial number seems to be obscured. Eventually when I strip the paint I hope to find it!
In the meantime, all I really have is the head badge to go on - It's hard to tell in the picture, but it says"
REGISTERED
STERLING
MADE IN CANADA
The only information I can find about Sterling, other than the bikes they made before 1900, is that US and Japanese companies made bikes under this name later on. Can't find anything about Canada. Also, the sprocket and chain guard don't appear on any sites that I've looked at.
So... help?
