    Some people don't value vintage bicycles as much as we do. They sometimes sell what we would give our left arm for, for pennies. Or they may even throw them on the trash pile! Show us your screamin good deals, and the bikes you've saved from the compactor. Yes, make us all jealous, it only...

    Wow! I just might be able to store another 25 bikes, but how to transport them? I'd have to rent a u-haul. Let me talk to my wife about this. If it's stuff like English three speeds, I might be able to make a profit on them. People around here want commuting bikes.

    Lately we have seen more than a few sales types of postings in the Classic & Vintage forum. While we are a bit more forgiving when it comes to trades, barter, request for (or notices of) PMs (or sent) there is a limit. All for sale postings have to be done in the Market Place forum, and yes,...

    Hi everyone. I need some help deciding what to do. I am working up a Raleigh Gran Sport-60's era. It will not be fully restored, rather made ridable, preserving 40+ years of use and abuse. The BB is rebuilt and the headset, the Brooks saddle is oiled, the frame is straightened. I am only missing...

    I'm contemplating getting an older bike (1993 or 1994) that someone is selling locally. The frame is Reynolds 853 (I have a touring bike made of the same steel and really like it). It seems a little pricey for an older bike (asking $1400) but it is in great shape and is equipped with 4 year old...

    I can take pictures when I get home if nobody knows what I'm talking about. This saddle was on my 1976 Triumph folder and was probably the original that it came with. It's got a vinyl or faux-leather cover over a metal frame with springs to provide squishiness. It's built rather like a sofa. ...
