[Billythekid]

Hi all first time poster so don’t kill me I hope the pics show up I just bought this bike for $50 the Guy I got it from said his grandfather told him it was a Coca-Cola bike the grandson told me his grandfather was a big time Coca-Cola collector I know it has a skip tooth chain so it was definitely old and just had to have it can anyone tell me anything about it I literally know nothing I have researched and think it has a Thor crank but not sure on that possibly D.& J. anyway if someone can give me any info I would appreciate it greatly

And yes the lugs r like that it’s not just paint someone must know what kind it is based off the lugs

coca cola, don't think so. It looks g and j. I sent you a pm, email. if it's for sale I'm interested...thanks

Super sweet find for $50!!
I don't know much about tandems but as said, the beautiful lugs on your machine look like Gormully & Jeffrey. Congrats!

 

[Billythekid]

Thanks a lot now I have something to go off of

I'd say a score for sure, it would have had 28" wheels. @Jesse McCauley might be able to help, he's an early tandem guy.

Lugs are G&J Gormully and Jeffery Chicago I think love the coca cola story

 

[Billythekid]

Wanna say thanks to Jim he told me to look up rococo lugs but I can’t find the exact ones

Super cool! Not a g&j. The cranks are definately Thor. And I believe the seat post collet is also thor ( or at least the made a similar one)

I believe @Barnegatbicycles is likely correct about this tandem being a Thor

got this in the mail today from larry on rat rod bikes. couldnt resist a quick mock set up. any idea of the maker, vertical drop outs, cranks and head set marked thor. i know thor made bicycle and motorcycle parts did they make bikes. it looks like the bike was a yellow color underneath all that...

Does anyone know definitively if Thor was supplied as stock gear for any particular bicycles or if it was a matter of customer demand / aftermarket upgrading? Many thanks, Jesse Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
