Let's see your Shelby's

[XC204]

Made this one and gave it up to a charity auction . laser cut badge and pedal sides

I'm guessing at late 30's-early 40's.. Any help would be apreciated if anyone recognizes any telltale signs of an exact year.

This is a RE-POST of the Photobucket criminal confiscation of my pics. I fortunately still have them. Photobucket/Photo-schmucket dummies..

Shelby-made Gambles Hiawatha....Not sure of the year, never checked. Below as found(before)

And after an extensive restoration. A lot of new chrome, new wheels w/Sturmey hubs. Heavy, but fast. Smoothest bike in my stable. 1st version below.

Final setup below...

Ratted drivetrain & wheels, but mostly original after restore.
NEXT!!!!
A 30's Flyer that gets ridden a lot. I put most of my miles on this bike. Very fast & fully rigid.

Side by side comparison..

This is a re-post of Photobucket mess. Don't appreciate those dummies..
Here is a Shelby Safe-t Bike...1941 that I couldn't pass up. Frame and Fork are original. Sturmey S3C/Bullseye hubs/400 gram Mavic rims. Chainguard comes from the restored Black one (earlier post) This rusty Rat has a rat-rack addition, and is a great all-around rider......

1930's all-original Shelby except the yellow grips. Missing the taillight housing. Found at a farm auction in Minnesota in the late 70's. The most original bike I own, now hanging in a bike shop here in Utah. I was able to find the missing truss rods & original grips.
