Spalding bike thread

[Billythekid]

Hi my name is billy spalding I grew up fixing bikes with my dad he had a deal with the dump and used to get every bicycle the dump got for a dollar each and we would fix them and sell them at the flea market sadly my dad has past few years ago ...As I was going to the flea market one day I spotted a chainless bike made by Ag Spalding I bought that bike and it has peaked my interest in bikes again I now have 15 haha but with my last name being Spalding the chainless is special to me it will b past down to my son William Abel Spalding the fourth I am hoping to get a thread together with just Spalding bikes here is mine I hope everyone will ad their bike or any info or pics they can ad Thanks to all on this great forum

The paint on my bike is barely there but it was blue with a red front end they called it a red head and my son William April Spalding the fourth has red hair what a coincidence

 

[Billythekid]

His name is William Abel Spalding the fourth not April lol here u can see the blue with the “red head”

So I just got this ag Spalding horn? I’m thinking put a rubber bulb on the end and make it into a handle bar horn it has a cool sound I paid $20 on eBay figured it’s worth it as factory turn of the century Spalding stuff is usually really expensive

anyone know what it actually used for?

Hi @Billythekid

I think it's a fox hunting horn like this:

Which would be perfectly acceptable as a TOC cyclist's horn.

Best Regards,

Adrian

I may have a Spalding straight pull front hub- shell only. Feel free to rattle my cage if I forget to post here- I am super busy right now.
