The Official CABE Bicycle Sign Thread

[deco-rate]

Lighted sign (originally a hanging sign) makes a nice backdrop to three of my Schwinns. I left the fluorescent fixture in but added LED option so I can leave it on all the time. Since I’m in Nebraska I assume it’s from Junction City, KS ?
Love me some deco!

One of our most favorite bicycle signs...EVER.. Yes, it was genuine original neon and looked magnificent at night!. Took this photo in the early 1970s with a 35mm Nikon camera...

1980 Olympics Campy poster. President Jimmy Carter boycotted the Olympics that year.
My brother qualified to represent the U.S. that year in sailing Finn sailboat. All those races he won to go to Olympics then Jimmy boycotted.

I did some sheet metal repair and alteration on a friend's back lit sign box so he could display his Columbia Bicycle ad glass. He plans to bring it to the Burley Creek Swap Meet this weekend.
