I’ll do more digging through my file cabinets, but here’s the files I currently
want to find new homes for, I’m willing to give them away for free, but would
like to be reimbursed for postage. I live in Michigan, but can mail them from
Canada, to save on postage.

810-990-8919
Aerodynamics - mostly add-on fairings, wheel discs, etc.
Antiques, special interest, freak bikes, plastic frame bikes, etc.
Bicycle motors – obviously not human power, mostly gasoline, not
electric, dating to the 1970s. Cantilever hubs, that is, hubs supported on one
side only.
Boats, that is pedal-powered, propeller driven.
Included are the December 1986 Scientific America cover story, "Human-powered
Watercraft," at least 8 brochures for manufactured pedal-powered boats and a
1952 how-to-build article from the book, "The Boy Mechanic," for a pedal-powered
dual-hull boat that uses an upright bicycle frame.
Off road bikes, cruisers, suspension, BMX, etc. – upright bikes, but still interesting, info dating to 1980s.
Pedal
cars / velomobiles– dating to 1970s.
Transmission – two files, one devoted to
hub gears and hybrid systems and the other devoted to other (mostly)
non-derailleur systems, dating to 1970s.
Upright tricycles - mostly British (derailleur gears, two wheels in rear)
Suspension – including early mountain
bikes, dating to 1970s.
Yankee Bicycle / Nordic Track – an upright bike with
unique transmission and braking system, sold in 1990s.
I also have the following
recumbent construction plans (on paper) that I want to get rid of, also free,
but would like to be reimbursed for postage.
- Alternative Bikestyles:
Construction of a Recumbent Bicycle (1985) – Similar to an Easy Racer Tour Easy
long wheelbase, Ed Roeters describes his design as "simple, practical and rugged
as possible."
- LaBent by Ladue two-wheels-in-rear
tricycle.
- LaBent by Ladue long-wheelbase two wheeler.
- Robert Q. Riley Ground
Hugger long wheelbase low racer with remote steering. (The original plans and
instructions appeared in Popular Mechanics in 1969.)
- PVC Projects (1993) - 20
projects made from PVC pipe, normally used for plumbing. Some have wheels, but
none are pedal-powered.But even if not using PVC for an HPV, it conceivably
could be used for a cycle-towed trailer, a cycle repair stand or ?
