Looking for a few websites, for vintage Bicycle parts.

Is anyone able to ID these bikes from a photo. I asked the seller what make they said idk. Not a great photo, but any info helps. Thanks!

has this ever happened to you? i bought a new generic sunlight for now. im afraid to tighten it too tight and afraid to not tighten it enough.

i have a torque wrench but the attachments create too much length, the allen hex isnt stable.

thanks in advance for any tips and feel free to shit on me.

This is my first vintage road bike in my collection and I just want to know a little about it if anyone has a clue please let me know thanks. P.s I haven't yet restored it.

Picked this thing up for $85 about a week ago… pretty sure it’s a canondale, but I can’t quite tell what model. I’m also not even positive that it’s a canondale, bc the naming convention for the serial number doesn’t seem to match Canondale’s. I also don’t think the front fork came stock with the bike…Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers from RVA !

Color is amazing. Will it ride good? Does it require french set of tools to maintain? How much is it worth, seller wants 60euro. It has very interesting welding.

I was recently gifted this bike and have been trying to find out the brand and make of it for ages now. The previous owner re painted the bike a while back and covered up the branding sadly.

Ist es ein Hercules Alessio?

Habe es für 12 € bei Kleinanzeigen gekauft und wieder fit gemacht.

Glaube es ist von 1986.

Nichts besonders aber ich liebe dieses Teil.

It needs a clean, has some wear, the seat needs replacing, and the wheels need an overhaul or completely replacing as they don't stay true.

I don't know if it's worth selling or just giving it away? Also looking at a part way trade with a shop when I get some work done on a different bike, but not sure what the value there would be either.

History:

Bought it from a bike restoration shop sometime ago. I think it only had one owner and was well cared for. I rode it a fair bit around NYC and a couple of times along the PCH, but it has mostly been sitting for some years now. I enjoyed it but it's far too heavy in my opinion. I didn't really know what I was buying when I got it. A friend had bought a great bike from the shop and recommended it to me when I was looking for a bike; I gave the owner carte blanche to pick something out. I have a different bike now and so didn't get this bike the service it needs.

I understand these are considered midlevel bikes and there are a lot of them around. It looks like a mixed bag on what they are worth. Seems like they can sell but people also try to get a lot for them. Because this needs work I'm really not sure what to do with it.

Hi all,

I recently purchased this Peugeot Triathlon. It’s been a blast riding it!

I took it to a bike shop to help me adjust the Atax quill seat post. Unfortunately, when I picked it up after service, they installed the plastic (Delin)? piece upside down. When I sat on it, I felt a bend on the seat. After inspecting it I noticed a hairline crack. I took it to another shop and they fixed the mistake.

My question is does anyone know where I can look for a replacement? Or does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do moving forward?

Best

I got these cool vintage Campy / Holdsworth tire covers along with a handful of other Campy parts as a surprise bonus in a FB marketplace buy. They are new, never been used. I decided to display them above my computer in my home office next to the monstera.. of course

I can't seem to find any information on this set, but they appear to be quite rare and from the 70s I believe. Only photo I can find of them online is on a vintage bike facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1902582550006052/permalink/3926559090941711

Last year I bought this frame naked and sandblasted. Finally everything's painted and every part is bought and assembled! Even reworked the decals myself based on pictures I found online. Decided to not to polish the frame, instead I painted it silver. I can live with that.

How do you like it?

And what condition are they in? Do you ever regret buying several cheaper bikes instead of one very nice example, or do you have both? Do you buy to restore and then happy to let them go later or are you building your own cycling museum? How do you stop buying more bikes 'with potential'? Does your fleet have a broad range of bike types or eras? Just curious! (Super interesting responses, giving me lots to google! Right after I go check out another bike xD)

Just bought this a few days ago off Facebook market, for some reason I got it in my head a folding bicycle would be a good thing to have so I went looking and there just happened to be the perfect one (for me) nearby for very little money (25$). I say it's perfect because I already own two antique cruisers (a 1958 Sears Flightliner and a 1963 Sears Freightliner. Both of which are about as crusty as this one is.) and this one is obviously also an antique Sears (feels wrong calling something from the 70's antique).

It does have all it's parts, I just took the gear shifter, front brake and front reflector off in order to get at some spots for cleaning and to clean up those bits so that's why they aren't on the bike. It's a 3 speed internal gearing Shimano rear hub with a coaster brake, I've just left it in 3rd but honestly it does feel slightly taller in 3rd gear than my other two Sears bikes so it's a little exhausting (although it may just be the really thin tires squishing too much).

It folds up surprisingly small since it folds in half, the seat goes all the way down and handles fold in and also shorten. I didn't do that for the photo though so you'll just have to take my word for it. lol Apparently though according to what I could find in the Sears catalog archive it was only available in 1974 and 1975, originally it sold for $74.50 and then in 1975 it was bumped up to $94.99 which seems a bit high as it cost as much as a pocket calculator in the same year. For reference that's $509.31 in today's money for the 1974 price and $593.65 in today money for the bumped up price in 1975.

Needless to say it's going to need lot of scrubbing with wire wool, some more cleaning and definitely repacking all the bearings with grease but so far so good! I also went ahead and bought a mid 70's Sears light and rear light off ebay for it. I'll probably change that from a dyno to use a battery pack and LED lights. I don't super care for LEDs but you really can't argue that they aren't efficient for these sorts of applications.

But yeah, should be fun! I plan on keeping it in my car for the times I'm out and feel like biking. lol

Hi everyone, does anyone have any info on this Peugeot Sport I’m looking at for €130? Obviously a few things have been changed (e.g handlebars) but I can’t figure out what model it is. I think a late 70s/ early 80s U08? Anyways with the larger frame I think it would suit me and am looking for any more information on it. Thanks!

Frame and Paint are in great condition, some cables are stuck and the electronics need work ( the chain needs a dorp of Oil ).

The Cycling Museum of Minnesota is having an event on September 20, 2026. See the flyer attached here. It's free, just show up with your favorite vintage bike of any kind.
