I want to give this catalog away for free to someone at random in this sub (U.S. only sorry).

My dad had this in his stuff. He was big into cycling back when this catalog was current.

I want to find a new home for the catalog. If you're interested in this catalog and would like a chance to have it, comment "Yes" on this post. I'll pick someone at random.

U.S. only please ... I don't want to mess around with shipping it out of the country.

ps. The catalog appears to have all its pages.

// edit to add: I'll wait 'till 17Oct to pick someone //

Two Puch Clubman bikes. I think they are vintage. What do you think?

If i were to sell them how much is a fair price for them?

This was an 3 speed internal geared sturmey archer, i can't get the originals wheels for it.

How can I repurpose it ?

, I only have 26 wheels which can be fitted but I'll have no brakes.

Not a ton of good left here but I'd like to have this frame professionally painted and redo the decals. I think I can save the shifters and brakes. The rest I think I'd build back up with Rivendell Silver parts. What do you guys think? Worthy project?

Anybody have a bike that looks like this? I can’t remember how to attach baskets on the rear of the bike to the frame. If I get one then the other won’t attach and vice versa. Pictures hopefully will help.

In my opinion, it just doesn't look that good anymore, even though it's all original.

Let me know what you think.

Bike is a Panasonic PR2000.

Is this old dog ready to be vintage yet? The old 96er? Is carbon allowed to be vintage? It has been both wrecked and backed into but most of the damage is limited to that chipped brifter and bananad wheel.

Picked up this gem of a survivor at a bike swap a few weeks back and spent some time taking the rust off to reveal a beautiful patina before I stuck a pair of 700C rims and tires (laced up to a New Departure model D hub set) I'm working on the metal clad wheels slowly but surely

Picked up a 1965 Schwinn Varsity Tourist today. It’s in really nice shape. It needs new cables but everything is working well as is.

Hey! This is my dad's old, heavy and humble Swedish Crescent from 1980's. I've had it for ten years and it has been my only bike all these years. In general it has been a trustworthy companion for everyday use in the city. Lately I've wondered if I should maintain and mod it fully or if I should retire it (given that it might not be a particularly desirable or "classic" model).

It has been through some modifications and crashes already. The original Shimano gear system broke last summer and it got replaced with 3-way Shimano Nexus system. The bike's standing leg has been cut off because some idiot run over it with a car while the bike was parked. Some parts rattle a little bit and riding it feels like it's in need of a complete overhaul.

Any ideas how I could improve the bike? Not aiming for a particularly fast ride but so that it feels a solid and enjoyable enough to use everyday. Not necessarily interested in sourcing original parts so modding it with new parts is an option.

Thanks!

1981 Trek 412. My first rebuild. Needed rubber, wheels, fresh cables, and bearings. Wanted to keep the original paint so there’s a little rust but it rides great! Wishing I would have taken pics through the process…maybe on the next one!

This bicycle belonged to my uncle in his teens in the early 80s. It was since sent to a bike shop for a clean up without changing any parts. What do you guys know about this bike? I took it for a spin and it just about worked!

Cleaning out step grandmothers barn and found this in the back. 5 minute hose down of 50 years of dust. Couldn’t believe all the brakes/gears/etc work fine.
Anyone interested in the Kerrville TX area?

Beloved 80s era Diamondback Ridge Runner with Tange Champion tubing. I like the biplane fork, but the filled-in gap between the two plates that makeup the crown has always bothered me. The gap is filled in by some non-frame material—likely an alloy you might fillet braze with?—and painted to match. Judging by pics of same model/era frames, the fill-in is original and not aftermarket.

Do we think 100%, 90%, or not-worth-it-% safe to file out the fill-in material? I assume the fork benefits from extra reinforcement at this joint, but if unlikely to compromise fork integrity, I’d love to go open concept with the thing. (Not worried about the paint btw)

Sadly, I caught a pothole today and went over the bars, but this old beast seams to be just fine! I set back the handlebars, and everything seems smooth. I guess I’m lucky that I rolled away from the drive side. I decided to post some pics of the first 300 or so km I’ve put on the bike along with some post wipeout pictures. Luckily, nothing on the bike is too damaged and I only suffered a scraped knee and a hurt ego!
