| Senior - BHPian  | Vintage and classic Bicycles in India Vintage and Classic Bicycles are increasingly becoming highly collectible in India and I felt a thread was required to document these beauties. Find attached a photograph of a late 19th Century bicycle which was found quite recently in Ahmednagar District. Today it is displayed in the museum at Ahmednagar. It has markings on the front however I could not Decipher them clearly. The only marking I could decipher on the plate was was "Stuttgart".  Last edited by aah78 : 25th September 2019 at 18:14.

| BHPian | Here is my recent find from Bangalore. I was visiting my friend and suddenly he got a call from one guy saying this cycle is for sale, we waited for 20 minutes and the guy came riding this beauty. Just like... love at first sight, now its mine. Its 1951 Raleigh, with drum brakes, hub dynamo and 3 speed gear (no name visible though).         Last edited by aah78 : 25th September 2019 at 18:17.

| Senior - BHPian  | Wow Wow Wow ... It's amazing to see fellow vintage bicycle riders here. I was the one who started unusual restoration of a non-bhp two wheeler (bicycle) two months ago in here, now seeing the bicycles raining here. Here is my Cycle (just recording it in this thread) 1949 Humber made by Sen-Raleigh Industries India Ltd with Sturmey Archer AG dynohub (3speed), Hercumatic gearlever (sturmey archer made it for Hercules), Sturmey Archer front drum brake, Miller headlight dome, Miller dynomo (failback), brass bell and a hand pump, Brooks saddle seat are the few High lights of my Bicycle. More details here: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/pre-19...ish-cycle.html  Very soon my cycle is going to have a white wall tyre which is already arrived under my custody.
