Pierce Arrow

 Pierce Arrow. As you can see, there are a couple strange things about this bike. The hanging tank is incorrect, and there is no need for that lamp mounted to the fork, and the wheels are incorrect. I date this from the 1910s.
 Very nice bend to the racing handlebars.

 Beautiful Mesinger Supreme Racer seat, I don't think I have ever seen one so nice before.

 Incorrect New Departure Model D coaster brake hub. "black out" produced during WWII.
 Interesting offset placement of the seattube.

Nice bikes seen at Trexlertown Fall swap

 Near mint Team Fuji track frameset

 Wheels upon wheels! Suntour Superbe Pro and Campagnolo Nuovo Record in Raleigh and Suntour wheel coverings.

Limited edition Campagnolo belt buckles.

Alvin Drysdale Velox, with 2 trophies and plaque. Very nice piece.

Hetchins.

Funny bike with a Cyclart repaint.

Pierce Arrow.

Gormully and Jeffery Rambler No. 12.  1891-1892.

Early 1970s Schwinn Paramount track bike.

Pile of 3 early bicycles, 1890s-1900s. Racycle, American(Chicago), ???
I like the different tread patterns on the tires, so it leaves a nice trail. One is 'chaintread' and the other leaves X's.
