I just picked this bike up. It belonged to the owner of my Local Schwinn bicycle shop. He passed away and I bought this from his family a 1985 NOS Schwinn Madison NEVER RIDDEN . The bike has beed hanging in his office above his desk for the last 25 years. I know the factory brakes make it look crappy. Too bad it is too tall for me. It is a 23 inch frame and I ride a 21 inch frame. Look cose and you can see the nubs on the original tires.

Yes I am going to ride it, fix the wood rims and build up a modern set of wheels with Velocity teak rims for everyday rides. Actually it is a 1898 not a 1889 , I flipped the numbers. It looks much cooler with the original stem and bars , just did not have them handy when taking the picture.
Thanks for the comments on the Atala , I just bought it a couple of weeks ago from the original owner , it came an extra campy wheelset , five campy chainrings and 14 rear cogs. I sold off all of the extra parts and got enough cash to pay for the bike, so I guess I can say it was a free bike. -
Well thi is my first post. I live in the USA . I have three winter projects .
Is a 1889 Brown & Lewis track bike made in Chicago. I need to find a new wood front rim , I have the original stem and bars.

I have a few more projects , but don`t have pictures of them on my computer yet.
By the way I just found this site and love it.
I picked this up a few weeks ago and now have it completed. I picked it up for $160 from craigslist. I bought it as an investment and will be selling it. To bad I live in the USA . It has a reynolds 531 fork from a Schwinn Paramount. Well how do you think it came out.
