Spring 2013 swap meet photos

Photos were taken in Copake(NY), Grand Rapids(OH), and Saline(MI).

Early turn of the century racer. Unknown maker. restored.

Mid to late 1930s Schwinn World. Equipped with New Departure track hubs, Messenger saddle, and Schwinn Paramount stem, and what appears to be Lauterwasser handlebars.
Schwinn Streamline Aerocycle

Beautiful lineup of balloon tire bikes- Shelby, Schwinns, and even an Elgin thrown in there.

Schwinn Cyclotrucks. The seller had 3 Cyclotrucks and a frameset. The black "US Army" one is prewar because it has a reinforced headtube and rear facing dropouts.

Rare Elgin Twin 60.

Early turn of the century hubs.

Nice selection of clean and restored BMX bikes.
Unique bottom bracket reinforcement on what might be a Bastide.
A Flying Gate design, but I have never seen one with the curved 'loop' under the seattube. Appears to be 1950s- dropouts and other fittings. Takes a unique unit type bottom bracket.
