Rare West German Cruiser and Muscle Bike

[FREEATLAST]

Just picked these two bikes up last week. The green one is a twin top tube rixe with a two tone kind of paint sound the neck. It's pretty light with aluminum rims.
The muscle bike only has a partcial emblem on the front that says," Olympic Deluxe." It needs some work as far as cables, tires and a cleaning. The seat is in amazing condition. Both have been really troublesome on finding another one for sale. What do you think?

both killer

NICE !

the first one is unique, real neat look to that - love the front fender ornament.

Nice muscle bike - Can you post a few more pics of that, close-ups of the decal remains especially.

I have it's twin I have been building on and off for the last 2 years from a frame and fork.

They are both very cool, love the "hood ornament" on the cruiser.

Nice finds! I love something different from the normal finds...

I notice the cotter pin cranks, if you wanted to run a more standard set up, I have found that some of the cotter pin styles are actually threaded the same on the bottom bracket as more modern square tapered 3 piece mountain bikes and the like. Very easy to switch them out. You just need to make sure your widths are similar...

Ask and recieve

More pics added - that was fast

Thanks a million, helps me know what mine looked like, yours is the first exact match to mine, seen some real close but always some small detail off, exact dropout shape, hardware, fork crown,etc... least I know it's not a one off

That first bike is really cool what size tires does it have on it ??

 

[FREEATLAST]

The tire size on the rixe is 26 x 1.75. It has semperit tires which I can't find for sale and I'm unsure if they're original or not. Thanks for all the responses so far.

I dig those squared off muscle bike fenders!

I picked up a 3 speed version of the German twin top tube bike from an estate sale of an old German guy about 5 or so years ago. I don't recall how it was badged, but it did have the same color scheme, the same brand gumwall tires, a grip shifter, plaid saddle bags and VDO Speedo. It was a really nice riding bike, just a tad small though. That was actually my first re-sale vintage bike too.
They also had a really clean 1959 BMW bike at the sale, but I didn't have the 10 grand they wanted on me, so I ended up with the $40 bike instead.
