I was in my local resale shop talking with the owner about wanting to build a dirt track bike, and he pointed me towards a bike on the wall. We didn't get it down but he said it's a Shelby Bicycle Company "race" bike from around 1920 ish. When they where making the Ideal bike. It has wood rims...
Hey this is great! I love all the feedback.
As a new and unintentional collector the fun thing about the 80's bikes is that I have several that have been getting dusty in then barn since I was a kid. Also the Murray I just bought was super cheap. They're a nice place to start but I'm leaving...
Recently picked up a Murray high flight at a swapmeet. Its hokey has some goofy colors, and plastic fenders. Its probably mass produced but still kinda fun. Got me wondering though, if anyone out there has any love for bikes from the 80's?
