Picked this up today Miami Racycle

[rideahiggins]

I picked this Miami Racycle up today at a closed Amish bicyle shop. They had been in business over 30 years and this is something they had left. From what I could google they were made from 1895 or so to 1916. It looks all original except I'm not sure about the seat, aren't mens seats usually longer? I was trying to find a value on it. The only one I could find for sale was at Budget Cycle Center for $9999.99. I'm going to post more of my finds on thru the weekend.

If you bought the bike from an Amish Shop you probably aren't local for this meeting but a link to Brian Doan's Racycle Blog is in the body of this post:

Nice roadster, original hub AND kelly adjustables? what a score!

Wow, super find!!!

Did I mention it has grooved wooden grips. I'll probably sell it for the right price. I've got so many uncommon bikes and parts right now I'm still sorting and researching.

Anybody want to make an offer before I put it on feebay? I can ship or meet you at Memory Lane or Ann Arbor swap meet.

I think the saddle is later and incorrect for the bike. Nice find though.

if budget has one for $9999.99 i would think yours is worth that much.right?put it on ebay and list it as a buy it now for $9999.99 and then let it run for 27 days.if it doesn't sell, then relist it for $9998.98 and run it for 27 days and keep repeating until it sells.i hope this helps.
