1954 R.O. Harrison Track bike





Pictures of when I had my R.O. Harrison Track bike set
up with some red Airlite hubs. As you see in the other
pictures this is how the final build was completed.
Dropped Cinelli stem and saddle support give it the
pure sprinters appeal. A very rare machine!!!!

Ellis Briggs Track bike


***************************
A very rare bike indeed!!!!
*
This Ellis Briggs is from the early 1970's. This
is the only picture I have of the bike that was
ridden in Victoria B.C. Canada. It has the rare
"Nervex" Pro lug set. In this picture the bars
were cut and upside down. This was only an experiment
by the rider as the bike ran it's full life with
dropped Cinelli bars.
*
This bike was taken to a painter in Victoria around
1985. The painter just happened to lose the frame
and it disappeared from that time on. It has now
surfaced in Victoria in another color and branded
with Ellis Briggs decals. The owner would like to
have the bike back for sentimental reasons and is
willing to make a generous offer for the bike frame.
Either cash on the frame or trades can be considered.
Possible other frames up for trade are:
> 1970's original Bob Jackson - black
> 1950's / 60's Allegro Special - original
> 1970's all chrome Bricca - red lugs
etc etc etc....

*
Please contact me in reference to this bike if you
own it or know of its whereabouts.
*
All inquiries and replies in confidence.

Thank you - corbettclassics@charter.net

Ric-Super Stayer



A rare piece raced by Ted Ernst. Motorpaced in the
late 1950's and still in its original race battered
condition.
"Ric-Super's" are quite rare in that they were only made
under this name for a year or two. The company was sued
and went to the name "Rickert" after that.

Durkopp Track


I believe this was Gustav Kilian's bike from 1937 approx.
At a bike show that I attended.
