thanks for the compliments on my stuff.
the tote-cycle is actually not a true folder. rather, it breaks into two pieces by removing two thumbscrews.
the A108 unfortunately had to get sold to make room for a work vehicle. its new owner loves it.(edited)

Who made the rear hub for that one? Chechs made 3-speed hubs?
Re: Vintage bicycles
It originally had a CZ stamped coaster brake hub, but I swapped the wheels out for an English set with a sturmey archer 3 speed.
Re: Vintage bicycles
Interesting! So that makes it a Chek-lish racer,right? LOL! I love the internal gears. Always wanted a 5 or7-speed by,I think Shimano?

if i'm not mistaken, the CZ hubs were licensed by sachs-torpedo from germany. though i have no experience with them (the only 2 favorits i ever worked on were both derailleur bikes), i've heard that the CZ hubs were not nearly as nice as their german counterparts.
Re: Vintage bicycles
Its a sickness like mopeds, just picked up this puppy, late 60's early 70's Kaptein Oxford Luxe. Very solid bike with a 3 speed sturmey archer hub.
And it came with a complimentary 20 mile ride home over the dyke.
Re: Vintage bicycles
Nice! That old stuff was built to last!
Re: Vintage bicycles
There's even no rust on the fenders, which is amazing after 50 years, later bicycles would've rusted to death by now.

Made this custom 6 bar from a 1940 girls Hawthorne.
Re: Vintage bicycles
The next time I get out towards the velodrome I will stop at this old family-run bicycle shop that's been in business for like a hundred and fifty plus years and he has a collection that you would never ever believe because it is one of the premier velodromes there is a large contingent of bicyclers that come through so this guy has this collection amassed that was beyond belief I just hope his kids didn't sell it all off cuz I haven't been there in 10 years if it's still open I'll go pick crazy
Re: Vintage bicycles
I'd like another one of these
