1918 Harley-Davidson Model 318
20? Frame
28? Wheels
New Departure coaster brake
Frame No 312024
Few Girls Harley Davidson bicycles were made;there was less demand for them, and not many survive. This example is in original unrestored condition. Most Harley Davidson bicycles (ie boys models) that you can find now are either restored or replicas, so it is refreshing to see one with original paintwork.
American wooden wheels are delicate unless stored in a constant warm environment, and these rims have warped (front) and cracked (rear). It is a very common problem with all vintage wooden bicycle wheels. To put this historic bicycle back on the road, the rims can be replaced with new Italian ones from Ghisallo, who are world leaders in that field and make them to order. The saddle has also deteriorated. It needs cleaning and a new leather top. I have fitted a Wheeler saddle supplied by Paul Watson.
ALL ITEMS SHIP FROM UK, except those lots that say in the title: SHIPS FROM USA.We do not charge for packing, and we can deliver bicycles anywhere in the world.For shipping costs, etc please visit the BICYCLE COLLECTORS AUCTION website -https://auction.onlinebicyclemuseum.co.uk/
