WANTED:   Rekord Folding Bike part posted by: Peter Kester on 3/3/2007 at 1:55:38 PM
I have broken the aluminum(?) nut mechanism on my vintage Rekord folding bike that locks the frame in an open position. I was having difficulty in pulling the pin to collapse the bike and unintentionally put too much pressure on the nut. It snapped off. I can provide photos if helpful. I am looking for a replacement part or some solution to repair this condition. Please help.

you may need to find a machine shop that is local to you that can make you another bolt to fit ... cannot think of anywhere else to look except E bay but I am sure you must have tried that already ...

I haven't seen a Tyler folder, but I've seen regular ones of that brand. Very low quality, IMO.

I bought an old folding bike several years ago and have never seen any data on it. It is evidently Japanese and is called a Road Puppy.

I have two NOS Silk Portacyles. I have some sales brochures and a display cardboard girl carrying a bike. I am willing to mail photocopies to those interested.

I'm pleased to find this new discussion area! I've made some changes to an old CCM tandem. The brakes and wheels got a rather radical upgrade, and it's also now sporting a 3-speed:
