| We are preparing to expand and grow over the next couple months. Here’s an overview of our plans:
1) The shop will be closed the week of August 4 – 10, 2001. No orders will ship during this week.
2) Sunday August 19th is the 5th Annual Larz Anderson National Bike Show and Swap at the Museum of Transportation in Brookline, MA. If there are any particular bicycles or parts you want us to bring to the show, please let us know. We’re limited in space but we may be able to accommodate you. We’ll have a number of bicycles and parts which we still have not had time to post on our web site including a 1969 Orange Krate, a 1967 coppertone Sting-Ray, a 1958 Raleigh with an enclosed chainguard, wicker baskets, frame pumps, NOS parts and more.
3) Some time this fall we will be making some infrastructure changes:
a) We will be moving to a faster web service in order to handle the 200,000+ hits we’re getting each week at OldRoads.com.
b) We will be opening up a retail shop with a real street address, repair shop, restoration service and a real, published phone number.
We would like to thank you all for your support, participation and suggestions in helping us build VVVintage Vintage Bicycles on the web over the past 6 years. We look forward to serving you and providing more on-line vintage bicycle resources in the future.

BALLOON: Bendix with three red bands ?
posted by: Jim
on 7/30/2001 at 9:51:43 AM
| Is there any data (exploded views or rebuild instructions)
on a Bendix hub with three red stripes ? It's marked "Automatic"
on the brake arm. I'm assuming this is a two speed kick back, but
looking around the web, I've not found any information on a
kickback with three red stripes. |

| Single red band is a 1 speed.
Three yellow or blue bands are 2 speeds with different ratios. |

BALLOON: Info on Tribune bicycle
posted by: Tom Struwve
on 7/27/2001 at 9:23:04 AM
| A a barn sale last year, I picked up a 26" girls bike with the
oddest chainguard I've ever seen (a series of large circles, starting
at the chainwheel and decreasing in size until the back of the
bicycle. There are holes for strings in the rear fender and a
unique L shaped seat post. The hub is New Departure and from a
recent discovery at a local museum appears to be a Tribune bicycle.
Unfortunately, I cannot find any info on the Tribune make, other
than that mile-a-minute Murphy rode one behind a train to over
60 m.p.h. (a racing version apparently). Can anyone point me to
some information? Thanks -Tom |
RE:BALLOON: Info on Tribune bicycle
posted by JOEL on 7/27/2001 at 11:35:54 AM
| The chainguard you discribe sounds like the one used on early 30s Elgins and others. Covers the whole chain right? The string skirt guards and 26" wheels would put it in that time period.
|
RE:RE:BALLOON: Info on Tribune bicycle
posted by Cal on 7/30/2001 at 6:45:15 AM
| Yeah, some of the Elgins in the picture database have that chainguard. |
RE:RE:BALLOON: Info on Tribune bicycle
posted by Tom on 9/4/2001 at 2:58:13 PM
| Thanks for your help - I think you got it ! The chainguard does cover the entire chain and the picture database identified it fairly well. |

RE:AGE / VALUE: need information on vintage bike

| If its a schwinn it would may 1960 year. Serial numbers tell nothing about the bike or model. Need more info for that. |
AGE / VALUE: What is it??
posted by: John Arduino
on 7/26/2001 at 12:16:07 PM
| I am trying to locate the Sears & Roebuck version of a Schwinn
adult tryke. The sears model has (3) 24x1.75 tires with a wire
basket in the back. It has coaster brakes, and a 3-speed
shifter (hub) on the handlebars. The chain drive appears to go
to a differential that then drives the wheel with a very short
chain drive.
Best Regards,

| Does anyone know anything about an AMF Skylark? It's a womans bike, with
26" x 1.75 tires. It has a double top tube, and with the exception of
some turqois accents painted on the rear rack, chainguard and fork tops
it is entirely chrome plated. It is in good condition with very little
rust, all of wich should clean up. Any idea on age or value?
