Please someone who can help with the year where this bike has been built. Ik think it is 1987, but I cannot find it in the various Motobecane catalogues on the net. It is a 24 inch wheels child racer with mudgards etcetera. The original dropbar was with it. I am restoring it go-slow

I cannot find any specific information about this French junior bike. I presume it is from mid 80's. Anybody knows? Thanks in advance. I am planning to restore it with the enclosed original drop bar. With nice special jiunior sized (double action) brake levers.

I am busy restoring a Gitane Criterium 1817 from 1978. I am sure the seatpost which is in it, is not the right one more about size. There is an Italian brand mounted, but not nice. What size should it be?

I thought I had seen everything before, but it was completely new to me. This Raleigh Silhouette (according to framenumber july 1981) has 27 inch wheels with new Schwalbe tires. I wonder if the rear mech is original. It is a Shimano long cage for the 6-vit freewheel with a 32 cog. Where the rest...

Maybe someone can help me with more information about a wooden track wheel. Maybe from the 20/30's. One side of the flip-flop hub has a normal freewheel from 1954 (I already found out) 17 teeth, English brand THE VILLIERS MODEL DE LUXE. On the other side of the hub a normal track cog 17 teeth...

I bought this earlier this month. For a little amount of Euro's. At first I'd planned to restore and sell it. But I came to the conclusion that I decided to keep it myself. :D The wheels (and tires) are not the ones I bought it with. They were crushed. I will rebuild them and made use of them...

In the early 80's I did ride on a Koga Miyata Gents Racers S (1980), which I later did sell. Years later it came back and since then my son make use of it. A few weeks back I was able to buy a simular frame for a little amount of euro's (even the same size, 58) only one year older (1979)...

Is it fair to misjudge all fixed gear bikes here? I am 59 years (young and have to admit I do like them very much. And love to build them as low costs as possible. Sometimes even with a so called suicide fix hub. Which is a normal road hub with a track cog and a BSA (BB) (right threading) lock...
