Bicycles 1850-1950 and Beyond…
We’ve come a long way since our first bicycle auction back in 1991. We have never forgotten that it is you THE COLLECTOR that drives the market. We have enjoyed bringing you some of the rarest and most desirable bicycles and related items over these many years. Michael Fallon’s passion for bicycles has propelled the Copake Auction to being one of the most popular and well respected antique bicycle auctions in the world.
In addition to the auction itself we also host the pre-sale SWAP MEET right on the property in our spacious country fields. The swap meet has a sort of “Fair” quality to it and is a priority pit stop for all bicycle enthusiasts. We see people return year after year from every corner of the world for a day of shared admiration, deal hunting and riding stories, and of course Shopping and Trading! These two days are more than just about selling, we try to make it a fun and informative event with food, special presentations and a 10 mile ride through beautiful Columbia County New York on our bicycles!

Are you interested in selling your Antique Bicycle, Memorabilia, Parts or Collectibles?
Copake Auction Inc. is the premier auction house in the world for selling bicycles, bicycle memorabilia, parts, accessories and collectibles. Mike Fallon asked this question after successfully selling some antique bicycles at one of our regular antique auctions, “If we put together an auction exclusively with bicycles & memorabilia would you come?”… a resounding “YES” was the answer and with the help of the late David Metz and others in the hobby the first Antique Bicycle Auction was a reality.
