Not for a hundred million, trillion, billion dollars!

Wolfies Cycles

Wine, cheese, ballparks, and bikes all get better with age.   It’s the weather worn bikes with a few battle scar, greasy chain, and timeless style that have the most personality.  During the 50s, everything looked like it could blast off into orbit.  Kitchen appliances became more streamlined, cars grew fins and even bicycles began to look like they would roar like a jet and exceed the speed of light.   Australian Mark Austin, with a background in architecture concentrated on this era and amassed an inventory of some of the most impeccable examples of bicycles from this era.  He sold this collection in 2011 and I'm sure he's regretted it ever since.
The collection includes bikes from Roadmaster, Western Flyer, Elgin, J.C. Higgins, Schwinn, Monark and a shaft-drive Columbia from 1895.

"I wouldn't sell my bike for all the money in the world. Not for a hundred million, trillion, billion dollars!"
