Thanks very much, Mark, and hope everything is going well on that side of the country! :)

That adjustable stem looks like it could use a bolt or a Lynch Pin as a safety feature. I love seeing all the details of the old bikes. It really makes me appreciate my modern recumbent trike. Where would we be without the creative bikers from long ago. Thanks for sharing 😊

@bikestrikesrazors Ай бұрын

I had that thought also. Some kind of bolt at the bottom of the stem as a safety feature.

In the 70's I raced a early 50's BSA with cranks very similar to those if not the same they were built by stonglight. I had a BSA sprocket like that but always used TA sprockets. That bike is a ultra cool find.

@bikestrikesrazors Ай бұрын

Thanks, Andy. Yes, the early 50's bikes looked just like this. Heck, this bike could even be from the early 50's. I just had to take a guess on the age with a little help from an expert.

@andyZ3500s Ай бұрын

@@bikestrikesrazors You are probably close to its age judging by the seat tube angle and other things about the bike.

We are watching an old video of Huell Howser on the American River Parkway. I hope you two are well since no posts for a month.

I missed that one! Did he ride a bike? We're fine. We have a video already filmed, just need to finish editing and narration. :)

You passed my wife and I today on the bike trail. Out of context since we were on our tandem.

That geometry is crazy, I wonder how it feels on the track

@bikestrikesrazors Ай бұрын

I've only ever ridden recumbents on the track, but maybe I'll try and bring it down to the Hellyer velodrome in San Jose and ride it there. :)

They somehow had a clue that this wasn't a "normal" bike, so they weren't giving it away. I had to pay, but much less than if I got it from a collector.

@MisterSal9895 Ай бұрын

How does it ride? What kind of steel was used on the frame? Curious since this track bike on the heavier side.

@andyZ3500s Ай бұрын

Evan thought 531 came out around 1935, I know that some bikes were built with 1/32 wall 4130 cromoly aircraft tubing.

@bikestrikesrazors Ай бұрын

There are no decals on it to help with tube identification. I only took it for a quick spin around the court and between the flexy bars and the clamp on the stem that didn't seem to want to stay tight, I couldn't really get a feel for the bike. I'll need to sort that out.
