Re: WD-40/Bikes
PaulB,
<font color=blue>I am into old bikes
My oldest is a 1933
All are old fashioned one speeds</font color=blue>
Sounds like quite a collection./w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif
Check this out. Another WD-40 project I've got on the back burner is this bicycle.(take a look at the attached pic)
The nameplate just says WAVERLY, and I know its been around at least since the 40's. I haven't been able to find any other info. I've talked to some different people about it, one guy who operated a cycle shop and advertised restoration work said it was "Pre War" and made in France. Conversely a purveyor of old collectibles (aka junk) who did own a fine Allis-Chalmers suggested it was sold thru a large distributor such as Sears or Montgomery Ward. Outside of that not much else. After reading your post about old bicycles I'd like to ask if you might know something about it. Maybe you have heard of WAVERLY?
