| I had posted long ago - that I had accumulated several ladies frames - I had picked up several for wheel sets, parts, etc. But now I have a few frames - but didn't really know what to do with them. I didn't really want to throw them out. Someone had said you could use them for making recumbent bikes. If anyone has a few hints of how a recumbent could be fabricated from a ladies frame - let me know. I've been thinking of trying to build one....It would probably be kind of like Frankenstein's monster. by: 64.12.116.72 |
| I'm trying to find info on a bicycle I recently came across. It's an Eclipse Bicycle from Elmira, New York. by: 24.30.185.90 |
| Morrow hubs made by The Elclipse Machine co. , Elmira NY and were used on many bikes in the 1930's an 40's. I didn't know they made complete bikes! Does your bikes brake arm say Morrow on it? by: 129.44.187.134 |
| The frame of the bike has a stamped tag on it that says eclipse Elmira, NY. The hubs may have been replaced later they where made in France. I'm having the bike shipped from New York so I'll have a better chance to look it over in a day or two. by: 24.30.185.90 |
| Hi, I am a young college student looking for awnsers. I love the quality and style of old bikes and I fell upon a Bauer bicycle. It was made in Germany from 32 to 52. Baurer made motorcycles and started off making bikes. Other than that I can't find anything about the company or my bike. It is in beautiful condition and I just need to know more. If anyone could help I would be very thankful. by: 12.213.112.37 |
| Nice find! Although Austrian bicycles (Steyr-Daimler-Puch products from Graz, plus a handful of Capos from Vienna) are relatively common in the US, German bicycles are rare. Can you post any pictures or list the components? by: 66.185.168.82 |
| Someone tried to sell me a Bauer a few years ago but I thought it was too expensive. This one had good tubing, chrome socks and headlugs. Probably fairly high in the lineup but nothing spectacular. Probably on par with other small scale builders like the french Stella. I know they made trick and/or circus bikes too. Look for usual signs of quality like any bike and price will be par. by: 207.200.116.14 |

| Hello! I just picked up an English three-speed lightweight made in 1954. The marque is "Abbey" and I can't find any mention of this manufacturer anywhere. It's a sweet bike and I'd like to know more about it. Any info appreciated. Thank you. by: 4.159.166.243 |
| Hey there, I picked up a pair of Abbey single speed bikes (his and hers) at an estate sale two years back and have been looking for info with no luck. The only thing I have to go by is the bike license from 1949 and the "made in west germany" on the back of the seat post. I've seen many bikes that I think this one copied? Same paint pattern, fenders, colors, gear. etc.. . Hope you've had some luck and please share if you did. I'll do likewise. by: 24.177.145.33 |
