Look Ma, No Hands!
Hi all, from Victoria Australia, my name is Dave and I have been restoring bikes for a while.
Recently I was gifted 4 Massey Harris - Models 6,7,18,102 and have started the restoration process. The Model 6 is the first as it is the most complete and in pretty good condition - no wheels.
I will post my progress and hope to both provide and seek information and assistance during this process.
The Model 7 - 1899 Special Racer will end up in my private museum of Melbourne to Warrnambool racing bikes from 1895 to 2021, to date I have representative bikes from 1897 to 2011, several are actual winner bikes, other period correct representations. This is a personal project and funded by myself as a hobby, I am retired and plan to stay that way.
Please find accompanying a few photos of the bikes as I removed them from the pile being cleaned out of a bicycle workshop which closed about 50 years ago.
My though would be to post each restoration on a separate thread, would this work?
Firstly if anyone has a catalogue with an 18 or 102 a copy or direction to it would be appreciated.
