I've picked out a few bikes in my "collection" to restore this winter.I may have shown some, or all of these on here before.

The first one is a Toscana Sport De Luxe 3 speed.I believe the generator and headlight are original to the bike as the bracket for the generator is welded to the front fork.The rear fender has a row of holes along the edges for , I suppose, skirt guards. I would like to know what the guards were made of and where the other ends attached.The wheel lock pushes in between the spokes of the rear wheel.

Second is a Concord ten speed. I bought it in Concord NC. Figured that had to be a sign for something, still don't know what though.

Next is a BRC ten speed with 27" wheels. Nothing special , but I like it.

Number four is a Solar Eclipse police bike. It needs some spokes in the rear wheel and tires.

Last , aren't you glad, is a NIshiki Colorado. The rear brake on it is where a kick-stand usually mounts on "most" bikes.The front chainwheels are a"computer designed drive system" meaning they are elliptical, instead of the normal round sprockets.It has Shimano Exage deraillers.The only chrome on the bike was the hubs. Everything else was painted. The bars and wheels were white. I like it.Thanks. :D
 
Looks like you have plenty to do this winter ! Whats up with the Solar Cycles police bike? I have one, a beach barn find (Beach Condo storage unit) the lady gave it to me .Its pretty crusty and had a pile of busted spokes too . I rebuilt the wheel set and have'nt decided how I want to build it. Like to see what you do with yours.
