For Sale: A lifetime of cycling - vintage bikes & parts

I have been asked by a neighbour to help her sell off her late fathers collection of bikes & parts. He was 90 when he passed away & was cycling up to 6 months before he passed on.
I have visited & photographed what can only be described as a life time of cycling.
There are complete bikes, frames, cranksets, pedals etc. ... even some Chater Lea chainrings, unused & in their original wrappings. (pics 40-42)
There are some frames with fancy lugwork & a nice looking track frame (?) (pics 23-27) as well as more everyday bikes the newest being from the 1980's. The condition ranges from restoration project to rideable.
All are for sale. If anyone is interested please contact me & I will pass your details on.
The lady who is selling this collection is considering having an open day so people can come & browse through the many cycling items that are there.
Here is a link to a gallery with just some of the many items.

Love the 'Lucifer' dynamo!

Ha! Nice :)

I'd be interested in photo 26, and plenty more, I'm sure. Any more details?

top notch hoarding, there

"This slideshow requires flash"

Can't see it. Now my curiousity has grown.

There is a link to the non flash version too.

awesomeness!

The black track/path bike looks nice :)

So great that he was still cycling at 90. Massive respect.
If there are any large freewheels over 20t I'd be interested. Couldn't quite tell from the pile.
Good luck with it all!

Hi, do you know how much she is selling the track frame ( photos 23-27)?

At the moment there are no fixed prices.
The condition of the items varies considerably so an inspection before purchase is highly recommended !
The items are located in Northampton. As yet I don't know when the 'open day will be - but probably within the next 2 - 4 weeks.
There are many more small items which have not been photographed.
I'm afraid my knowledge of vintage stuff is zilch !
I should be able to get access to the collection in the next week or so & will try to answer any questions then A little bit of patience will be required on this one ... I will do my best !

Regards to all & thanks for the interest so far :-)

wow thats some impressive gear hording there!

when more details are available...either dates or some more size info' let me know...

[regards on your neighbour's loss - good to see the stuff not get junked].
Hoarding and riding till 90yrs...me too please.
