1897 Goold Brantford Red Bird

 Just got my 1897 Brantford Red Bird bike up on wheels  I brought this bike or parts of it back from New Zealand last winter.  Bike is complete and rideable now .  Just put new wood rims on bike and took it for a ride works great. But it is stretch for me as the frame is 26inch  Has Sager saddle shown in 97 catalogue and original tool pouch. Wood handle bars. It is match for my Ladies bike.

majestic bicycle

Does anyone have any info on what this possibly might be?  Bought it last week with some poor pictures thinking it might be a CCM with one of those odd ball chainrings.  Turns out it is a Majestic and also has an odd chainring.  I was already there and the price was right so it came home with me.  It's been repainted, and it is probably older than I thought.  It has some interesting features that may help identify it.

Serial number is 58961 and is located on the rear dropout.

The cups for the headset are integrated into the lugs.

Friend of mine took a picture of this while in Montreal last month. Looks very interesting, anyone know anything about it. It's the only picture he took.

Headbadge

Hi everyone.

I found a chap in Malaysia who does excellent work reproducing head badges.

Does anyone have a clear picture of an early SCP (Standard Cycle Product) head badge?

It is the one in brass with a beaver and maple leaves. The one I have is not good enough.

If you have the dimensions, that would be great.

I thank you for your attention

How common are Sunshine bicycles back east?

Hi All,

 

Just wondering how often you all see Sunshine bicycles come up back east? Out west here we don't often see them...

Cheers.... Wayne
