Eric G’s 1972 Webco 10-Speed

Posted

My name is Eric G. I have a 1972 Webco Road bike and a ten speed i think this is a OTSG First in its archives and am wanting to show it off. Its a 23” frame with 27” Wheel base with all factory parts on it.. (that means nothing what so ever put onto it, other than what it was made out of.) It was in the back of a Warehouse and had been tucked away for 40 years and inside the box not even assembled or opened until recently. It’s not the best quality bike that’s forsure but it is a very fun ride and was to much to pass up especially for a first in a upcoming collection of mine of late 60’s to early 80’s ten speed road bikes. Overview: 1972 Ten Speed Webco or (Western Bicycle Company) made in Japan Sincerely Eric G.

Thanks Eric

    Wow, a “brand-new” OTS!
    Obviously, the result of a temporal rift in the time-space continuum creating a portal at that warehouse! Better be careful where you wander around looking for more bikes, Eric!

    Eric G., that is one beautiful bright yellow bike there! I stumbled upon it while perusing this extensive Gallery and just couldn’t stand that only one viewer/commenter seemed to notice. Dude! That is like a dream of mine–to find a NOS bike still in pieces in its original shipping package. I have found many bikes that appeared to be Garage Queens, but the elusive NOS bike–nah.
    Full of envy, BRQ ( I wonder if I could make room for just one more yellow bike….let’s see if I trade the Diamond Back, move the—?)

    Eric do you know the value of your bike? I have one similar to yours but not in mint condition like you have. It was given buy a friend and I wanted to rebuild it with a brand new paint or to restore the original looks. Thanks
