John Deere bike boom bikes

Photos of made in Taiwan John Deere bikes here.

John Deere first made bikes over 130 years ago.  Super rare. I've seen 1 in a museum.

Bike boom era bikes from the 1970s.  10 speed road bike in mens & mixti womens. 5,3 and 1 speed cruisers.  Sting ray and tandems.  Collectable for those that don't appreciate quality, just the name.

And countless branded chinese kids bikes.

And many tribute bikes by private owners everywhere.




This was a 10 speed road bike.  It was missing many parts when I got it so I did a single speed conversion.  27" wheels, single cog freewheel. 1970s era 27" steel wheels with nos tires.  3 of the 4 welded on side reflectors were broken off so certainly not worthy of a restoration.
