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. I thought you might be interested.
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! Photo credit: Charl Cilliers

1931 - 1940 Japan
1931 - 1940 Japan Dear Sirs: I have a pre WWII bicycle; it is stamped made in Japan, with a serial number, and a emblem. It is riveted together and made of aluminum. I went to a Schwinn dealer they had no idea of the type/manufacturer. Do you know of a dealer who specializes in Japanese bikes? Any info would be appreciated. Sincerely yours, Beverly Stanley

1931 - 1940 Hercules
1931 - 1940 Hercules I picked up this Hercules (made in Birmingham, England) in Stellenbosch, South Africa. It has a top-tube shifter and an undated Sturmey-Archer rear hub. This apparrently means that it was manufactured in 1940/41. Only the seat, pedals and (I suspect) tyres are not original. I found it in a sorry state and have enjoyed cleaning it up, scouring the rust off the chrome parts etc. I use this bike regularly in my meaderings through the picturesque town of Stellenbosch.

1960 Rollfast
1960 Rollfast Anyone know what year/model this Rollfast is? I'm giving it to my mother for Mother's Day, and I'd like to be able to tell her a little bit about it. The only numbers I could find on the bike were J7287 on the gooseneck and CH on the underside of the bottom bracket hanger. It also has Persons Supreme pedals. Tires are 26"x1.75". Thanks.
