It was a great time at Oley picking around for four days plus three bicycles found new homes. It was great fun hanging out with Steve @Velocipedist Co. who came East on a mission to find parts for his Pierce single motorcycle. His enthusiasm is contagious! I ended buying two 1909 Pierce four cylinder engines. Anyone have a frame, or a Breeze carburetor? A dream badge came my way so the Regas Spring Frame bicycle project can now be completed. A fabulous set of “Hickory Racer” wheels were also found at Oley. A heap of smalls as well.
Yeah, it was amazing! I also got this “wall of death” banner and a group of literature reprints from Todd @47jchiggins who was also at the swap. You can never have too much literature!
This week, I took a 9 hour round trip down to Madison, Wisconsin on a lead and it was well worth the trip. I brought home a 1899 Roberts Special sold out of T.M. Roberts General Store in Minneapolis, Minnesota. What else makes this bicycle special is the first year issue of the Cycle Path License Tag from 1900 still on the bicycle. It's a great addition to the collection and a great piece of history.
Town was also having a swap meet this weekend and found this awesome Texas Refinery Can and a 1938 Elgin Women's Bicycle for $10. Sadly it has been painted and there are a few non original parts present. Makes for a good yard decoration tell I decide what to do with it.
