Finally bought a camera (and worked out how to use it), some of my bikes;

That first bike ... I think you haven't listened to your advice on lubing the chain Mickle!!

 

[John the Monkey]

You have some lovely stuff there Mickle - thanks for sharing!

 

[mickle]

Thanks Td1nka! I shall capture the souls of my other bikes this afternoon.

All 700???!!!

 

[spandex]

All 700???!!!

No the black phantom is 26 not 700

 

[Hilldodger]

dunno who told you the ladies loop frame is 1880's.

It could be around 1910 - 1914 but might be later. I'd need to see it in the metal.

 

[tdr1nka]

Am I right in thinking CoC have 700 bikes tho?

 

[bonj2]

how much do you want for the top one?

Cheers Hilldogger, which details would you need to see to accurately date it?

 

[bonj2]

Probably carbon dating. Either that or cut it and count the number of rings in the cross section/.

A crinoline?

Check the front forks. Are they flat on the inside of the blades - IE, are the a D secton?

Also, do the seat stays bolt on at both top and bottom?

And, does the bottom bracket have cotter pins on the front edge to clamp the frame up?

So how the blimming heck does one embed images in ones post?

Ooooo
How can you change the colour of that?

 

[mickle]

Well since it requires a new top (bent and rippled) and seat tube (cracked) and that particular hue of pink is no longer available I figured I'd go for a colour scheme such as a classic Italian racing red with chromed head lugs.
