Art F’s Ladies Camel 10-Speed

Posted January 27, 2010

Maryland and DC’s source for OTS sales and rental, Art F, sent us another from his hordes.  A mostly unidentified ladies 10-speed.

This ones a complete mystery as to it’s origins or age . Looks like it was used a few hundred miles and is completely original equipment . . Pcked it up in a thrift store for about $15 .I really dig those reflective sidewall tires. Now that it’s wintertime I could load up on nice restorable bikes for $10-=$15 but am nearing doghouse banishment from wife because of bike piles lying around the yard. anyway this bike has a welded lugged frame was sold by R&R bike store in New Milford CT has a cottered crank and components from Polygon? Star? and Suntour. . Gave it a quick tweaking and lubricating and it’s off to craigslist DC Thinking about making it one of my rental fleet with $100 deposit and $60 buyback after 3 months . Funny how not many of them come back except the ones with flat tires and popped off brake blocks .

Regards,
Art F

Thanks Art
