Looking for info on this Hamilton?

What can you guys tell me about this bike? I can't find anything about this bike online. The only hamilton bike info I can find is about the olympic cyclist. What is the purpose of the smaller wheels on it. The whole bike is shimano 600 except for the front deraileur which is a deore and the rims are sun rims. Also looking to put a value on this as I might be selling it in the future. Matt

Somebody here has to know something about this? Matt

nothing to add (sorry!)

but that is a freaky looking bike. every single proportion feels wrong. feels cubist.

Thats the weirdest looking thing ,what size are the wheels ? (frame reminds me of the famous "Flying Gate")

Schwinn Kid 06-08-09 04:28 PM

I think the wheels are 22 inch? Any idea what this style of bike would have been used for? The bike has no serial number so I am thinking it is handbuilt? Hope somebody knows something about this bike. Matt

Actually I just read the tires they are 24 inch by 1. They are not 22. Matt

One last bump up to the top to see if anyone knows anything about it. I was trying to find out what the frame is made out of and I think it might be carbin fiber? Matt

Quickest way to find out if its C/F , stick a magnet on it !

Schwinn Kid 06-09-09 09:11 PM

Well I did the magnet test. It sticks to the frame so not C/F. It is too light to be steal. I have no clue what else it could be. Titanium? White Metal? Matt

if a magnet sticks to the frame, it's steel. Looks like it is a nice bike. Dunno why the small wheels, maybe they just were handy.

Smaller wheels are lighter, stiffer, more aerodynamic and accelerate more quickly.

Thanks for the info guys. Any idea what kind of steel it might be? The whole bike ways like 15 lbs I think. Matt
