1974 Raleigh Sports. The generator set up has since been replaced by an original SA Dynohub and lamp set.

1936 Schwinn Henderson. My grandfather's bike, bought in about 1938 or so. Found it in his barn and he let me have it. Note the pedals are original Torrington Deluxe wing sections and not #10s.

I rebuilt the Columbia's front end with period parts to be correct. The fork had to be re-painted to match the bike. I used a Preval spray unit, matching paint, and photoshop to do the fork dart and triangle. The bearings all have 1949 date codes, so this is a late 1949 or early 1950 manufactured Columbia.
