You might try Hatt's Custom Cycles in San Rafael, CA. The number there is 415-488-1441. Ask for Brett. I don't know if he can help you or not but the shop does specialize in pre 1975 HD motorcycles.

MISC:   1918 Hudson bicycle posted by: Erik on 1/5/2002 at 11:52:24 PM
I came across a 1918 Hudson girls bicycle, when my grandmother passed away. My grandfather said that my great grandfather had bought 2 bikes that fall for his sisters. Grandfather rode one during WW II and lost track of them both. When going through the farm I found a pile of bikes going to the land fill. This Hudson had a stepped on and broken wooden back rim. All of the pieces were on the bike, with the expectation of the right grip. Yes, even the chain guard, seat and even all the pieces to the skirt guard.

Now the big questions. Do I restore this bike or leave it as is as a show piece? Can I find a NOS rim and tires ( front has red tread and the back has black? Grandpa thought it was blue, But what color blue?) The bike has rust finish on everything including the chrome or was it nickle?

Too many questions and help is needed. Any and all is very welcomed. Thanks

I have a bike I purchased in Lancaster a couple of years ago.
there is no headbadge. The rear hub is a New Departure Model D
inch picth chain. Rims appear to be metal. The "chrome" aparts seem
to be nickel with wooden grips. Does anyone know when inch pitch
chains stopped being used and when the New Departure model D's with coaster
brakes came about?

   RE:AGE / VALUE:   Garage Cleaning posted by Joel on 1/3/2002 at 3:00:19 PM
The info you have given suggests a 20s-30s bike. What size are the tires and are they clinchers or single tube? What does the frame look like?

   RE:RE:AGE / VALUE:   Garage Cleaning posted by ChristopherRobin2@starmail.com on 1/3/2002 at 5:35:35 PM
Inch pitch stoped about 1950, with some exceptions. but generally we think of inch pitch being pre-war.
Model D was the single speed coaster. Now the Model DD is the one to look out for, that's the two speed coaster brake that has a cable and a ball ended shifter. Those are valuable hubs, the DD.
Nice bike. Thanks to seeing your name, I can't get the tune "Johnny Mack" out of my head, but thats ok.
Describe the crank pattern, look in the library for Schwinn bicycles by Pridemore and Hurd.Also Balloon tire bicycles on e- bay.
Mens bicycles are worth more so I hope yours is a mens frame. Sorry, but that's true!

   RE:RE:RE:AGE / VALUE:   Garage Cleaning posted by sam on 1/10/2002 at 1:16:24 AM
the model DD is an attachment that adds to the model D hub.

AGE / VALUE:   Ebay bike sales posted by: Greg on 12/20/2001 at 2:32:41 AM
The Columbia Expert went for $2400 in rideable but rough shape, the 48 G&J went for $1800 sold by the same guy. Rideable and I think in better shape by a bunch. And the Victor frame, fork and back wheel didn't make the reserve bid which was somewhere higher than the $440 offered. I could have used the back wheel, I need a hub for one of my G&J bikes, radial spoke and I think 18 spokes. Anyone got one they want to part with? The two bikes really cool bikes in England didn't sell and they were pretty cheap at about $1600. An unidentified bike in rough shape, not rideable went for $1225 from a man in Socal.
