Well, I guess I'm a bike collector now. Found this sitting in a carport while I was delivering a package. Drooled for a few minutes then back to work. Went back later and talked with lady. Not her bike. Neighbor left there while house being rebuilt after F5 Tornado. Contacted neighbor by phone. Sure will sell bike, give money to contractor. Great old bike cruised home in back of my Durango. Now resting comfortably in my garage. Love It! Woo Hoo! Any info appreciated.
BicyclesThe precursor to the modern-day bicycle was the 1817 Draisine, named for it…
Absolutely love it, what a great find!
What are your plans for it?
Personally, I'd leave it as is but make it rideable (I have several that way)!
I'm not too hip on the Cadillac bikes but i do know they were not affiliated with the Cadillac car brand.
If you haven't already, check out the CABE (http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/forum.php) , post up some pics and someone will be better able to identify it.
Thanks so much! I'm for the leave as is but make rideable. The chain looks original and spins tire just fine. Coaster brake is marked Elgin. Cool Beans! I'm gonna check out the web site. Thanks again for the help!
Great pick Hammerhead!
Very nice love it.
