1979+/- Raleigh Competition GS: Full Reynolds 531 frame and fork in "barn find" condition.  Made in England at the Carlton facility with Campagnolo GS derailleurs, shifters, hubs, headset , crank, pedals, seat post, bottom bracket and Weinmann brakes.  Cinelli bar and stem, concave alloy rims with Brooks Professional leather saddle.  Paint is in worn condition but we polished a couple of areas for the pictures (seat and down tube).  Chrome is rusty but we did shine up the right seat stay for the pictures, shallow top tube ding.  Significant portions will clean up nicely but there will still be some pitted areas although I think that is called "patina" now!  21" c-c with a 22" top tube.   Great project bike or fixed gear conversion.   $299

Pre War Schwinn Cycletruck: This bike was restored over 15 years ago.  Very Good amateur paint job that is showing some wear now.  Handful of chips and a couple of small dings on the rear fender. Stem, front hub and bars were chrome plated.  Rear hub is new old stock but not currently functioning.  Seat and pedals are new Persons products (leather saddle and Supreme pedals).  Wheels build with heavy duty spokes. Tires are Schwinn Studded Balloon and Stingray whitewall knobbies.  Chain is new old stock 1" pitch.  The bike was finished for display use and would need some detail work to ride.  Great for a business display or finish it up and use it for deliveries. Very nice head badge. Click on link to the left for a complete set of photos.      $2,500

1966 Schwinn Fastback: First year Fastback with the Sprint parts.  Nice original parts including the seat.  Front tire is original but worn while the rear tire is a replacement.  This is in "as found" condition and looks like it would clean up great.  IF we get time, we may clean 'er up but then the price goes up!  Sprint sprocket and rear derailleur.  North Carolina State University license tag.  Appears to be completely original (except rear tire) including things such as the cables.    SOLD

1995 GT National Team track bike: This appears to be one of the 1995 US National Team bikes  welded at GT’s Longmont Colorado custom frame shop, more than likely by Dave Tiemeyer.   Beautiful fillet brazing with the GT triple triangle.  Mavic was a parts sponsor in 1995 and this one features the Mavic bb, 24" front wheel and headset.  The rear wheel is a Suntour Superbe Pro and I will include the matching 700c front wheel (don't want to break up the set).  Post is a Campagnolo and the bar, stem, seat and crank are just parts tossed on to make it look like a bike. Kinda tough to measure these.  Seat tube is 58cm c-top of the top tube, hypothetical top tube would be about 59cm.   $1,450

Schwinn 1958 Jaguar Mk II: Pretty nice original tank bike. Chrome tank (missing horn assembly), nice original paint, chrome S-7 rims, stainless fenders, rear carrier with tail light, front articulated rack, speedometer head unit.  We wiped this one off quickly but it would need going through if you plan on riding it.  Gillette tires are cracked, we stuck several spokes in it to replace broken ones, horn assembly is missing, rear tail light has broken lens, rear rack is sway backed, speedo doesn't have drive or cable, 3 speed cable was replaced but o adjustments done, rear hub was growling until we lubed it up.  Wouldn't take much to make this a super nice riding bike.   SOLD

1984 Specialized Stumpjumper Sport 24" wheel: Most of the early mountain bikes were made in pretty large frames.  Often, they were available in 19", 21" and 23" which is huge by today's standards.  One way of offering a smaller frame was to use 24" wheels with a 17" frame.  These bikes weren't necessarily kids bikes but sized for smaller adults.  You can see that this bike uses pretty much identical parts to the same model full-size bike..   $395.00

1991 Team Fat Chance: I've not seen any printed information about this model so most of this is based on stories that we have been told plus some semi-educated guesses.  This was a Taiwanese built, Canadian assembled bike that was specifically designed for the Canadian market.  The low slung frame with the extended seat tube is a style favored by the Canadian market.  This may have also been a test to see if their was interest in an imported Fat Chance bike.  It would have been a much smaller risk to the Fat Chance reputation to have a bike fail in Canada than in the US.  Since they weren't imported into the US, I am guessing that the experiment was deemed a failure.  Rumor has it that Chris Chance was never particularly fond of these bikes.   $395.00

1991 Mountain Goat Escape Goat: The Escape Goat was a TIG welded US made frame.  This one has a neat fade paint job with a darker upper half and light lower half See pictures below).  Parts consist of mainly Shimano Deore XT stuff with an XC Pro crank and neat Stronglight roller bearing headset.  The seat stay wish bone sure looks tiny compared to some of today's oversize frame (possibly due to the frame size?).  As with many of the Goats, this one has the ultra-cool brazed-on Goat head badge.  Bike is being sold as pictured except NO PEDALS will be included.   SOLD

1991 Cinelli Argento Vivo: Cinelli' s attempt at taking advantage of the growing mountain bike market. Developed with Gary Fisher. Appears to be a one year attempt.  Cool circuit board graphics on the down tube.  Cinelli labeled parts include the stem, bars and saddle. $450.00

1970's Lambert road bike: Fillet brazed steel frame with just about all Lambert made/designed/labeled parts.  Lambert parts include hubs, shifters, crank, pedals, clips, straps, bars, stem, brakes, seat quick releases and more.  Simplex rear derailleur, MilRemo rims, dry cracked IRC gum wall tires.  Some of neat Lambert features included Lambert cast shift levers, Lambert toe straps, roller bearing pedals, sealed bottom bracket and fillet brazed construction, bars with Hand Crafted for "_____".  This bike has most of the blue "L" Lambert caps and covers in place as well.  White paint shows some yellowing but may clean with some compound, small (bb sized) ding near the bottom bracket shell, freewheel needs cleaned.  Has the original aluminum "death fork" that probably shouldn't be ridden.  Looks to be a super clean lightly used original bike.  Handcrafted in England.  23"seat tube with 22.5" top tube.

1966 Schwinn "Klunker" 24" wheel bike: This is a 24" wheel 1966 Schwinn that was converted for mountain bike use.  The braze-ons and derailleur hanger were added to an original frame.  Most of the parts appear to be late 1970's vintage but I am not sure where the fork came from (appears to be more early 1980's?).  The paint is pretty unique, red on one side and pink on the other.  $550

1967 AMF Roadmaster Speed O Motive Amflite 3 speed muscle bike: Cool old muscle bike with extra tall sissy bar, whitewall tires and a three speed.  Hub is date coded as 1967 which should be the year of manufacturer for the bike +/-.  Seat is nice glitter purple with a white border.  Pretty deep scuff where the crank hits on the chain guard.  Seat cover is intact but a little loose.  Three speed shifter appears to be missing the cover and handle is loose.  The non-Schwinn muscle bikes are often pretty rough looking so it is difficult to find nice complete ones in nice condition.   $350

1989 Schwinn Aeromount: This bike was built as a geometry test mule for the early 1990's Paramount OS 650 bikes.  Since it was just a proof-of-concept, it was built with Tange Aero tubing and Tange Aero fork, even the chain stay bridge is airfoil shaped.  The shifters are mounted to the top of the top tube and  the hubs were prototype Dura Ace hubs with slotted holes for aero spokes.  Seat post is the non-round Shimano Dura Ace AX.  The bikes uses 650 wheels front and rear with a 56 tooth big ring to compensate for the smaller wheels.  The bike was built up with parts that were laying around the Waterford facility.  The bike was very lightly used but it appears as if the paint prep was poor.  There is a line of bubbles under the paint under the down tube and across the front of the head tube.  Doesn't appear to be corrosion, just bad prep.  $1,250+ Shipping
