This site/blog is intended to provide a comprehensive collection of all things that relate to the hobby of vintage American bicycles. Whether you are a collector, restoring a bike, or researching a new treasure then this site is for you! 

This site is designed to help the novice as well as the seasoned collector. If you are new and are trying to figure out what a “drop out” is then check the glossary. Not only does my glossary provide a definition but many of the terms include pictures as well. The gallery section contains pictures of bicycles as well as past events. You can click on the pictures and they will enlarge (if on a tablet or PC). Website “Search“–click on “Blog” from the menu and you will see the search feature.

This site also has serial number lists, company histories, how to date a hub, in depth articles, and a list of books with a short description of the contents. Lastly I will try to write a worthy blog at least once a month. If you have an idea to make the site better just drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do. Enjoy the ride! 

*UPDATE 16 July, 2024–Colson serial numbers added under “References”.
