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:

The verdict is in and a winner has been selected. Bikeman received a fair number of responses on this one but Cecil Lee from Vancouver BC had the best response. Cecil gave us all the pertinent information plus shared with us his personal experience with the lever, and some bonus points for riding a Ritchey. Here is his answer.

"This was a part i believe was call Dr Dew brake lever extensions. they were intended to bolt onto the end of a brake lever[old school long length levers] and allow braking while riding on bar ends. i had a set mounted to older long levered xt brake levers[cantilever compatible].  They were useful but i removed to simplify my bike, at the time a Ritchey
