Vintage VDO speedometer
 

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=505620

I'm looking for a VDO speedo to match the clock shown. I would prefer miles but would consider kilometers. If anyone has one they would like to sell, please let me know. (Not sure if the picture will come through. If not I'll try again.)

Thanks,
Kevin

Strange place for this....

I thought somebody in a classic bike forum might have info on this 60's era speedo. Moderators, if this should be in a different forum, would you please move it to the appropriate forum. Thanks.

Are you looking for motorcycles or bicycles? Cool looking piece at any rate....

I think VDO did make speedos for both, right? There probably should have been some speedos in the recent 70's thread, as they were a very popular accessory. I had one of those IKU superlight speedos with the little red plastic wheel for a while. That was probably the pinnacle of mechanical bicycle speedos. They disappeared instantly when the Avocet cyclometer came out.

RE the OP: I think you'll just have to keep looking on ebay and asking around, and hope you get lucky.

Sorry, I should have specified for bicycle. I found a few in Germany, but they don't want to ship to USA. Hopefully I'll get lucky and I'll stumble on one.
Thanks.

Me too.
 

Had to laugh when I saw the op because I also have the clock, but no speedo. I have a nice German made bike they would look great on. They sometimes appear on flea bay but I don't have an account. I just keep looking. You would think the speedo would be more common than the clock, but apparently not.

VDO made speedos for motorcycles, bikes, and VW's....probably more that I don't know about.

I had a photo of the speedo but can't seem to find it at the moment.
