The Preservationistas

[Bicycle Belle]

I decided to start a group for collectors who love and value girls bikes and would like to see them stay together. Lately there have been so many nice originals parted and discarded that it has prompted me to take some sort of action. My hope is to create a network of people who will send out alerts to other members about a lead on a lovely lady that deserves to be kept just as she is.
I know this will cause a lot of eye rolls among those in the hobby that see girls bikes as nothing more than profit making donor bikes but enough is enough. Anyone is free to join who has an interest in preserving girls bicycles!

Housepainted low line bikes considred?

Any original completely intact girls bicycle is of interest. I myself love the plain janes and am not limited to high end bicycles in any way.

I like to see real nice original girl's bikes. Used to have quite a few in my collection about 15 years ago. From 1940's - early 1960's deluxe bikes. I feel real nice examples should be saved. Bikes that are toooooo far gone, I have no problem parting, boys or girls. Back between 1985 and 2001 when I was collecting, buying, selling I never parted out a good bike. Once the bike is sold of course you have no further control.
