The old 38 Elgin at the bottom of the page is undergoing a complete tranformation that is completely awesome! I'm only waiting for the saddle to come back from upholstry. Your gonna have to wait for this one just a bit...............

All new look......

Some of you are used to seeing the racer geek side of me over at Visenka Cycling. As the months of the calender change, so do goals. Mine have taken a big hit and now you get to see another side of me that most were unaware of. Right now, I have 4 vintage bicycles in the stable and would like to clear some out to make room for new projects. There's more info. that goes with each of these, so contact me and I would be happy to tell more of the story.

1969 Raleigh Sprite --- This bike was abandoned by it's owners at the shop. I gave them 6 months, then it became mine. All original except tires and tubes. Internal 5 speed S-A shifters, Brooks saddle, fenders and rack adorn this beauty. It even has the kansas bicycle stickers on the rear fender from the early 70's.....

1968 Hawthorne --- My friend Mike had a guy who owed him some money. Mike went over to "collect" and spotted this gem over in the corner and thought I would like it. It was completely original down to the tires and tubes. I was able to ride it back and forth to the liquor store as is, but have since replaced the tires and tubes to match the originals. I like to call this one my "rat rod" bike since I can't afford to build a real hot rod right now.....

1951 Sieber --- Sieber was a Swiss bicycle company that stopped production in the early 50's. This was another instance of a customer coming in to the shop and just wanting to unload an old bike. This time, it was her dad's who had recently passed and was clearing out some of his stuff. He was the original owner and supplied me with the receipt from 1952 that I still have. Some of the parts were in bad shape, so I converted this guy to a single speed.....
