1947 Western Flyer
1947 Western Flyer Attached is a photo of a Western Flyer recently acquired from a garage sale for $50.00. Skip tooth gearing, 26", Serial Number 7316131. The paint appears to be original, but someone has applied a clear coat over it. The tires have been replaced and the chain guard appears to be new.
It has been dated as a 1947 standard model by NBHAA. The chain guard, seat, pedals, handle grips are none original to the bike.

1963 Dunelt
1963 Dunelt The yellowed-looking grip & cables are
as white as the rest.
~63 Dunelt I found in Palm
Springs California. Certainly not the Holy Grail of English bikes,
but the condition is astonishing.
Not a stitch out of place on the saddle or bag, not a spot of rust.
Grip shift. New tires & tubes. I think everything else is original.

1962 Achilles
1962 Achilles I found this South African made Achilles bicycle in a local shop. What a find! It has a licence disk mounted on the handlebars (not visible in this picture) which dates from 1962. Bicycle licences were law in SA until around 15 years ago. It is in great condition with the varnish/painted badges and logos all in great condition. The head and tail lamps both work from a dynamo although the tail-lamp~s bulb has fused. I suspect that the rear hub is not original since it has a 73 date code. Otherwise all original. I do not ride this bicycle or take it out-doors in case of theft. It~s just too valuable to me!
