My Bike Collectibles, Memorabila And Mostly Junk

[aka_locojoe]

I've posted some of this before but thought I'd start a thread with all my junk in one place. I probably go a little overboard when it comes to collecting bike related stuff :roll:

Here was today's find. I don't know if the bike has much to do with the story of the book. The bike is also pictured in another photo on the back cover. Maybe I'll get a Grandkid to read it and let me know. Just thought the bike on the cover was interesting. Pixie with bmx bars and stem?

And a few more things. I'll continue with books and magazines. More stuff later.

The now defunct European bike mags Loco and Crank

and my issues of Kickstand

Cruisers book

We've got that Rizzo's bike sale book around the house. Cool stuff.

 

[aka_locojoe]

Yes that Rizzos is a neat little book.

Toys, models, whatever...

Probably the only complete Phantom I'll ever own, hehe.

I'd like to get one of those but not for what I see them going for. I typically don't spend that much on a full size bike.

I got the Phantom mini at the local swap meet for $20.
The pedals turn the back wheel, and the springer seat and forks 'bounce.'

Pictures and posters throughout the house. Almost every room in our house has something bike related in the decor. I use the word "decor" loosely and I'm working on the "almost" part :roll:

A friend recently visited the New Belgium Brewery in Ft Collins, Colorado and brought us back this Tour De Fat poster. We had it framed and last night I hung it on the wall with all the other bike stuff in my room.

The big photograph by a friend and photographer is called the "Schwinn Tunnel" if I recall correctly. To the left of it a Art Of The Bicycle poster.

This cool old photo includes a quote from the MC at last years Midwest Bicycle Fest. It was a gift from ratfink1962.

Ad from a early 20s Saturday Evening Post for 3 in 1 oil.

My Sister-in-law got me the big print of an ad for BF Goodrich tires for Christmas. Also on this wall a Sears muscle bike ad.

Painting in living room.

Wife's room is kind of a Southwest style.

Painting by a local artist. In the foreground of the painting is a local bike path.

Our bedroom has a western theme. Trying to figure out how to work a bicycle into it I thought of this.

The mantle holds photos of family members on bikes.

I was going through some old stuff from my former job and came cross this key fob. I remember a supervisor of mine having it made for me but why I don't recall. On the back it's engraved with my name and the year 1988.

 

[ezernut9mm]

my bet is that the white bike with the stake in the seat is a squirrel feeder. cool collection.

LOVE ALL THE BIKE THEME

Plant holder. Peg goes into hole in the bottom of the pot so it does not fall off.
