Halladay adjustable handlebars

 These adjustable handlebars are similar to Kelly handlebars. Produced in Marion, Indiana for Marion Cycle Works in the mid to late 1890s.

Caminade Caminargent city bike

I love the look and idea of the Carinargent(Introduced around 1934-35 in France). It has octagonal tubing that are held together by lugs that clamp with bolts. So the frame can be completely disassembled. It is aluminum and with some time and delicate love, it can be polished to a beautiful shine. I have never seen the octagonal tube rack before. If it was my size I would have not posted a link to the auction until it was over. . . and my bike!

This particular bike is on ebay and here is the seller's(RhClassics) description-
(ebay item-360548761084)

"54 cm middle of BB to center of seat tube.
 650B wheels. 3449/ 4-50, so April of 1950. 
Very nice example of a fully original cyclotouring Caminade, with all its original parts, never restored or polished up. 
There has been a tendency over the past to turn all Caminade into race bikes, or to build up a bike from a frame in a non-authentic fashion. 
This bike is the real thing, as it left the Caminade factory. It has all the nice cyclotouring options and parts : fantastic octagonal tubing rear carrier, original internal cables and wires, original red paint detailing of the lugs, original Caminade frame bolts, Lefol Le Paon mudguards and correct matching Luxor lights, rare alloy Roto-Phare dynamo, Stronglight cranks with red paint matching the frame, Lefol chain guard, fine alloy rims and hubs, Caminargent stem, alloy bars, Lam brakes and levers, fine long Frank Nelson saddle, octagonal pump peg. The back derailleur is missing, it would have been a standard Super-Champion to match the lever that is still there on the top tube. Not a problem to source this one missing part. Condition of the frame is good, it will polish up beautifully"

Schwinn Webb brakes

Very unique brake display to show the newly introduced Schwinn Webb brakes(1937-1938). I have not done much research other than the Schwinn catalog, but Webb was British components manufacturer. They were best known for their pedals.

 Equipped on the prewar Paramount Tourist.

I personally own the original ink drawing of the Paramount Sports-Tourist Ladies' bicycle. See it here on this blog posting.

Grease fitting on bottom bracket spindle

Coventry(uk) Ultralite cottered bottom bracket axle has grease fittings on either end of the spindle and a hole at both bearing races so grease grease can be injected into the bottom bracket without disassembling. One could also use lightweight oil, as well.

Suntour(japan), in conjunction with Wilderness Trail Brothers(WTB), later used a similar design with their XC-Pro bottom brackets with Grease Guard. The Suntour unit has a hole in the crank arm bolts, the spindle is hollow, and their is a hole on either side of the bearing races. Injecting fresh grease ultimately purges out the old grease.
