I have an old bike with a New Departure D type coaster brake. I was wondering which brand(s) used them, and what year they were manufactured. Thanks in advance.

I have a bike that have Raleigh stickers and Name plate(icon) in front but the bike looks like a schwinn. My question is did Raleigh make bike name BoardWalk that looks like a schwinn?

I don't know I found this bike at a fleamarket. It had the raleigh icon on the from and raleigh stickers and a frame like a schwinn. Now I did break it down to rebould rebuild it. I don't have the stickers anymore but I did not touch the icon.

Taiwan is my best guess. Not a Nottingham bike. Possibly China.
