Welcome to our 13th Annual Bicycle Auction! Many thanks to our consigners without whom this endeavor would be impossible, many of you have been with us since our inaugural sale. We look forward to seeing you in April.
We have assembled the best collection of balloon bicycles ever offered at auction. As usual there will be rare and desirable early period machines and lots of quality collectibles.
We are proud to offer the Matthew Mantel Archives. Journalist Mantel covered the Tour De France for the New York Times. This is a rare opportunity to obtain material from an “insiders” personal collection. This year’s catalog is bigger and better then ever. We photographed almost every item in the catalog, Order the 2004 Catalog Online.

This auction is our premium event and is the most satisfying sale we conduct. Please think of us if you are considering selling one piece or your entire collection. We draw collectors from all over the U.S. and around the world. We accept absentee, online, and phone bidding. It’s important to contact us early in the year if you’re ready to sell, we welcome consignments year round. We attend the Fall Trexlertown, Penna. Bicycle Show and can meet you there. Thanks for participating in our auction. Don’t forget our swap meet on Friday April 16th dawn 'til dusk, there are always “finds” and great camaraderie.
