  1. hey everyone

    does anyone know of a web site or forum who could help me identify my bike?

    is there a thread on here that could help me?

    ive taken it, in the past, round the bike shops in the local area but they were not very helpful...

    it has a cross bar that slopes down to the front, holes instead of slots on the front forks ( so i didn't enjoy punctures! ), no identifying chain wheel or special shape mudguards, pinch bolt bottom bracket, adjustable clamps that fit behind the rear wheel ( to stretch the chain? ), pull rod brakes, and when i first got it the base colour under all the others was a sort of RAF ish blue...

    at the moment it is waiting for it's third restoration ( ok its in bits in my garage ) but any help on what it is would be greatly appreciated...

    ...need...more...data...

  5. One possibility is Harris Cyclery http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/parts.html

    If you send a picture by email to their website they might know. When you see the pictures of their staff and read about their "pet" bikes you'll realize that some of these guys go back to the Boneshaker. Especially "Captain Bike",
    Sheldon Brown, the leader of the pack!

  6. I believe in polygamy so none of my 6 bikes mind me riding the other ones....ahem...I know how that sounds 😉
