Old Ten Speed Gallery

Finding a good yet affordable 10-Speed these days is no easy task. With the popularity of online classifieds continually on the rise, anyone with a camera and computer can pawn off their ugly ill-maintained bikes(10-speed or other) to whomever is willing to pay the — three times what would be reasonable — asking price.

Hugh — veteran and friend of the OTSG — is one such bike selling guy. What sets Hugh apart, however, is that his bikes are actually very nice. Clearly, he has a knack for finding bikes in exceptional condition(which is key), he then disassembles and completes a thorough inspection and reconditioning process on all of them — kind of like a Lexus. When you buy an old bike from Hugh, it’s not used, it’s Certified Pre-Owned.

Some of his offerings:

Annalise, a Melbournian Bike Lover, offers her Australian built Repco Continental for our enjoyment. Annie’s Repco bares a similar style and class evident in Anne’s Morrison Concorde and Alice’s ‘77 Sportabout. After a string of Schwinns this month, it’s nice to have two straight OIOTS.

OTS picked up from Salvation Army store in Melbourne. $20 AUD…

…You might be interested to know that this is a Repco Continental, made
in Huntingdale, Victoria (Australia) in the mid-late 80s. It has
Shimano Tourney gears, and I believe truly qualifies as an OTS.

Thanks Annalise
