1962 Achilles

(Click for full photo)

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

1949 J. C. Higgins I think that it's a late 1940's JC Higgins girls bike. It has a rack on the back with false tail lights and fins as well as skirt guards on the rear wheel. I'd appreciate any more info anyone has on this model.

(Click for full photo)

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
