1931 - 1940 Raleigh

(We did not write the comments which accompany each picture - Vinny)

Bicycle Type: Lightweight
SERIAL NUMBER: R63874 INDICATES BETWEEN 1933 AND 34 ON THE MENOTOMY SERIAL NUMBER PAGE. THE 3-SPEED HUB IS STAMPED K.7 WHICH I IMAGINE INDICATES 1937. IT HAS A RALEIGH HEAD BADGE (BRASS) AND RALEIGH COMPONENTS SUCH AS FORKS, CRANKS, CHAIN GUARD, AND ALUMINUM KICKSTAND. IT HAS 28 X 1 1/2 INCH STAINLESS STEEL DUNLOP RIMS. I FOUND THE BICYCLE DURING SPARGUT IN BASEL/SWITZERLAND. SWISS AIR HAD A GREAT DEAL ON INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS IN THE EARLY 1990S WHERE BICYCLES WERE FREE WITH A TICKET. THE TIRES ARE FROM MEXICO CITY. I MADE THE PHOTOGRAPH IN FRONT OF A 1925 RECITAL HALL I REMODELED IN TEMPE. ANDY . WEED@ GMAIL. COM

THIS IS THE SEARS NO. 1 SCREAMER. I GOT THIS FOR MY BIRTHDAY IN 1969 IN CEDAR RAPIDS IOWA. I~M SENDING THE PHOTO WITH THE DETAILS, AND THEN THE ORIGINAL LATER. EXCEPT FOR THE STICKERS ON THE SEAT, THIS BIKE WAS ALL ORIGINAL. THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN IN 1972 AFTER WE MOVED TO LINCOLN NEBRASKA. THE BIKE I HAD BEFORE THIS ONE WAS A SEARS 20 + 16 SCREAMER. IT WAS BLUE AND GOLD. THE CHAIN KEPT COMING OFF, SO MY DAD WENT BACK AND GOT THE NO. 1 SCREAMER.

Bicycle Type: Middleweight
MY SCHWINN SPITFIRE. PURCHASED IT IN JUNE 1979 FROM WESTMINSTER BIKE SHOP ON BEACH BLVD. SERIAL NUMBER INDICATES A DATE OF MANUFACTURE OF APRIL 1979. I RESTORED IT A COUPLE YEARS AGO SO I COULD RIDE IT AGAIN. NEW WHEELS AND TIRES. NEW BRACKET BEARINGS AND CUPS. NEW CRANK AND SPROCKET WITH CHAIN. NEW PEDALS AND SADDLE. RIDES JUST LIKE OLD TIMES. THE ONLY SOUND IT MAKES IS FROM THE TIRES ON THE PAVEMENT. I STILL HAVE THE OLD OWNERS MANUAL TOO. KEVIN ALDRICH BUENA PARK, CA

IVERSON ROADRUNNER....(NOT SURE IF IT~S LATE 60~S OR AN EARLY 70~S MODEL?). FROM WHAT I~VE READ, THE HANDLEBARS AND CHAINGUARD WERE DESIGNED BY FAMED CUSTOM CAR DESIGNER GEORGE BARRIS FOR IVERSON.....POSSIBLY HE MAY HAVE DESIGNED THE ENTIRE BICYCLE ITSELF?? BUT DON~T KNOW FOR SURE. IRONICALLY I PURCHASED THIS WITHOUT A DIME IN MY POCKET, AS I WAS A MAIL CARRIER DELIVERING THE MAIL AND IT CAUGHT MY EYE AT A LOCAL YARD SALE. I HAD A HUFFY DRAGSTER GT AS A KID AND THIS REMINDED ME OF IT BEING A SIMILAR COLOR GREEN. I ASKED THE SELLER AND TOLD HIM THAT IT REMINDED ME OF ONE I HAD AS A KID. THIS ONE OF COURSE IS A GIRLS BIKE THAT HIS DAUGHTER HAD. THE SELLER LET ME COME BACK TO PAY FOR IT LATER THAT NIGHT AFTER I FINISHED DELIVERING THE MAIL. IT WAS A DEAL OF THE CENTURY AS I BOUGHT IT FOR $10.00 ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL....OR IF ANYONE HAD ANY PHOTOS OF THE HUFFY DRAGSTER GT, THEN THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!! ALL I HAVE IS A PICTURE FROM AN OLD CATALOG. THANKS!! -MARTY (MARTIN DEAN) MARTYD @TRIAD .RR .COM

1911 - 1920 Hartford

(We did not write the comments which accompany each picture - Vinny)

Bicycle Type: Safety
I JUST PICKED UP THIS HARTFORD AND KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT IT. THE HEAD BADGE READS "HARTFORD WESTFIELD MFG.CO. WESTFIELD,MASS.U.S.A." WITH A PICTURE OF AN ELK IN THE FOREST IN THE MIDDLE. UNDER THE CRANK IT READS " D 5 2 7 (A 2 SIDEWAYS) 0 4 ". IT~S SUPPOSED TO HAVE TENSIONER SCREWS IN THE REAR. THE FRONT SPROKET IS A 26 TOOTH SPROKET (SKIP TOOTH). IT USES A "PULL-THROUGH" TYPE FRONT HUB (LIKE A MOTORCYCLE HUB). I BELIEVE IT IS IN THE 1890~S - 1920~S...?
