Details
You could be the proud owner of this vintage 1800 Mens Wood Rimed Bicycle. This bicycle is in nice as found condition. Really nice lugged frame design. Leather seat, cork grips, tool bag; this bike was ready for an adventure! This bike has other nice features like the rear coaster peg, a good set of original pedals (missing one toe clip). This bicycle has a really nice leather saddle. Unfortunately the head badge is missing off this beautiful early mens safety. This bicycle is looking for a new home and it could be yours.
BIKE CONDITION:
This bike is in pretty good shape for its age. The paint seems to be original with chips, scratches, and wear spots. The nickel plating is rusty and missing is most spots, but in other areas looks ok. One cork grip is missing a metal sleeve and is "chewed up" a little. Wood rims look good but are a little out of true and have minor splits at the seams. Tires are dry and rotting. Nothing has been done to this bicycle and we would recommend a full tune up before riding.
This bicycle is being sold as is, please see photographs for details.
