Pile of rusty bikes; 1910?-1950’s

[Melbo]

Found a stack of bikes in the brambles. One has (had) wooden rims.
One looks like a track or racing bike.
Pretty shot but maybe some salvageable stuff.

Bring them all home. Great for "wall art." I've brought bikes as rusty as those back to life, but lots of work. Good winter project, if you have the time.

RUSTY TREASURE TO SOME... BEING A BIKE GUY I WOULD BRING It HOME...

The Excelsior-built Sears Elgin streamlined motorbike looks very-much worth saving, (except maybe for the ~1930 handle bars).

New aluminum rimmed 700c/622mm wheels make good replacements for old wooden wheels.

Just noticed that the diamond frame is the same one with the old “World” head badge — looks to have a very-classic (Atlas?) chain ring sprocket too.

Im more than willing to take anything you consider "too rusty to save" as most folks know I will most certainly save it. Im not joking either...
