This Vintage 1919 Autocycle Motorbike was the Top of the Line Bike offered from the E. C. Simmons Hardware Stores. Simmons Hardware was founded by Edward Campbell Simmons in the 1870s in St. Louis, Missouri and grew to a highly successful nationwide hardware chain. Simmons hardware flourished up until 1922 when it was acquired by Winchester Repeating Arms Still Badged Simmons and then acquired by Shapleigh Hardware Company in 1940 Most Likely no longer Simmons but Badged Shapleigh. Simmons Hardware offered few different Bike models and parts to go with them. Some Later Simmons Bicycles were made by Colson Corporation, but this early one remains a mystery, to the best of my knowledge it is made by Michigan City Excelsior. Simmons was a well trusted hardware store and sold a lot of bikes that are unique with quality construction.

Heres a view of some Lux Low painted Schwinn Tanks that will be blooming this Spring. Looking forward to Assembling Schwinn B-107 Straight Bar Ballooners, Deluxe Hornets, and DX Bicycles. Enjoy the Eye Candy!

Memory Lane & Ann Arbor Vintage & Antique Bike Swaps are the Grand Daddy’s of all Bicycle Swaps. Although Lux Low Missed the shows due to the lack of cost effectiveness, We Celebrated by Finishing some long tome projects and using our local sources to bring in some new stock. Working late into Saturday Night April 30 we finished this 1948 Schwinn B-607 and 1950 Schwinn B-107. Yumm!!

This Beautiful 1950 Schwinn B-107 was one of Schwinn’s Top of the Line Bikes with all the bells and whistles. This B-107 or Postwar Straight Bar Autocycle has extensive Beautiful paint work & Deluxe Features. The B-107 is an amazing bike built with Schwinn Style & Quality.

This Beautiful 1948 Schwinn B-6 was one of Schwinn’s Top of the Line Bikes with all the bells and whistles. The B-6 considered a lesser model than the Popular Schwinn Phantom, but in many cases now considered more desirable. The extensive Beautiful paint work proves more appealing than the chrome features of the Phantom. The B-6 is an amazing bike, built with Schwinn Style Quality, By Far one of My Favorite Bikes.
