Old Race Bike

[gotavan]

This old race bike needs some tires. It's a Delye fixed track bike, the tires are single tube 1 X 28 glue ons . Bike was made in Grand Rapids Mich.

I have had this bike for 25 years and don't know much about it's history. My brother in law gave me a couple slicks to make another big tire bike, they are 4 inches wider than my other monster.

Awesome! I'm not sure I would do anything other than preserve this bike.

old racing look. So sleek and stylish.
Just let those horseies out of the legs
and Lets ride full tilt.

There's a guy in my neighborhood who's way into old track bikes--next time I see him, I'll pass this along to him. He'll probably want to buy it...
BTW, nice A-100 PICKUP! :mrgreen: Don't see those every day!
I used to have a '66 A-100 panel--only old car I wish I still had

I won't be at Hamilton this year, I don't have a passport yet. I may be going to the van nats in Ohio that week. I did visit Hamilton several years ago, well it was a long time ago, I went to a Grateful Dead concert at Copps colliseum. Stayed at an old fancy hotel and had a great time. So I guess you need a cardboard Dan to run over.
