Black Knight

[highship]

Picked up this bike that I have had my eye on for a while. The google box brings up nothing so let me know your thoughts. Says Black Knight West Germany. Any information would be sweet.

Cheers

The rear dropouts are interesting. Other than some tires and tubes, I wouldn't do a thing to it.

I'd hammer and dolly the fenders and add a kickstand but otherwise leave it as is.

Beautiful looking bike, don't do anything to it except tires and chain! I know a German website that discusses all things bike related, sort of like us. I did a quick search there on "Black Knight" and came up with zilch, maybe you will have better luck there, I have forgotten too much of my German

I would say its royce union made too. The rear triangle matches a girls bike i have. Nice score!

I think Union was the parent company, they made pedals for Schwinn too. Royce Union was their main badge, but there were others like Kent, President, etc. And they either sold frames, or their old tooling to Rapido, or the company that made them in Czeckoso-whatchamacallit! :lol: -Adam

I had a dream last night that I was driving out in the desert and spotted a huge pile of old bike frames and parts out in the middle of no where. I don't know how rare the Black Knight is, but I found a Black Knight tank in the pile :lol:

I'm certainly no historian, but it has enough cool about it to say don't touch it. It was probably some rich kid's Christmas present in the 50s.

Nice bike, Is this a 24" bike?

 

[GameBent]

Nice bike, but the name reminds me of one of the worst movies ever made (with one of the worst actors might I add).

Cool bike. I just picked one of these up myself. I have also been trying to find out information on it. I did find out, just today, that it is a German World War 2 bicycle that the foot soldiers used. There were actually guns mounted to the bicycle. I wasn't able to get a value on it as it is that rare. Not sure how to post a pic.
