Watch your head!
You might run into that 1955 Elgin Bluebird hanging from the rafters. Yes, it's true. The boss never throws anything away. It just magically vanishes from the shop and ends up here. If you've given up hope of finding that low gear pawl for a Hercules three speed, drop Davis an email davis@bikeman.com. If we can't find it for you, well, uh, we can't find it for you.

Bikeman's Museum


Do you remember slapping a Fat City bandage over some rock rash or how about hearing a Tioga Disc Drive rolling down the trail. Bikeman still has found memories of the years and parts gone by. In the museum you will find collectibles, components, memorabilia and maybe somethings you totally forgot about. So tighten down those toe straps and come on in.		 Latest Museum Pieces:

What IZIT #61
written by Buzz Climis, November 08, 2009
Can't be sure of the year, but it looks suspiciously like a Campagnolo I/2 freewheel removal tool, what Campy referred to as a "Ring nut lever holder". The shape is a tad different from the one I see in their Catalogue # 17 from 1974, and if I had to guess I'd say it's an older model.

Campy Crank Wrench
written by mpapet, November 09, 2009
I seem to recall something 'special' about the wrench. Maybe it came in their super-deluxe tool kit?

Well the logo says Campy, wild guess here: is it a downtube shifter for the rear derailleur? Or a tool of some kind... That's all I got..

Campy Peanut Butter Wrench.
written by Baird, January 14, 2010
it was for making snacks on the side of the road. but you had to switch off with your buddy who was trying to fix those old crappy cranks with it. i dunno whats worse, getting greasy while you're trying to make a sandwich, or getting peanut buttery when you're trying to fix your bike...
