Vintage Bicycles December 3, 2023Strange bike I’m confused about – I feel like it’s early 70s – stickers are in English but says “made in Western Germany”. Head plate reads “Olympic De Luxe” 3 speed SA shifter but a sachs torpedo hub- anyone have any ideas? Maybe a department store brand?
Vintage Bicycles December 3, 2023Should I sell complete, or take the parts for a different project and sell the frame?
Vintage Bicycles December 1, 2023The 1951 Sturmey Archer AW hub finally arrived! Now to order rims and spokes to build the wheels up…
Vintage Bicycles November 30, 2023Can’t decide, stay vintage with all the warts (6 speed freewheel) or update a bit to freehub 8-9 speed and ‘brifters’. Thankfully I have a bike collective nearby to source middle age parts from.
