I recently found my old bike in storage Mint condition. The company is called Leader, Montreal Canada. I was super excited that I found it in such amazing condition. The rubber is still good. I got it when I was a little girl in the mid-late 70's.

Wanted to let everyone sad news that we lost a great Canadian bicycle builder, Michael Barry 1938-2018.
I feel that he's been doing it for more than 30 years and pioneered bicycles to a higher standard which I feel should be mentioned here, plus his bikes were highly sought after.
Hello:
I had a little red Humphrey girls pedal bike in 1952 that was marked made in England on the brown seat. It had brick red handle grips and two straight bars on an angle supporting the frame. The badge was Humphrey. It was a dandy and I did many jumps over home made elevations. I rode it everywhere including on hikes, on our tarred roads and in the woods and parks
near home.
Can anyone identify this bike? No idea if it's Canadian, I just thought I'd put it out there. Thanks in advance. Steve.
Just finished this Massey Harris Model A1896 .
First year for Massy Harris.Is a match for my mens bike.
If you have a bent fork and want to staighten it, bring it in the frame to Jamie's show. I'll have a fork straightener with me at Brantford for you to use at the show.

Good evening to all,
I contacted Jamie a few to ask aboout the show, but he must be busy with preparations. Does anybody know if I need to register with Jamie to have a vendor's spot, or can I just show up?
Thanks
Marc from Ottawa.
I would like to eventually make this Doc Morton frame into a finished bike, but I'm not sure about the best way to go about it. First, it was nickel plated originally. I'd like it to look as it was when new, but preparing the metal and replating the entire frame would be very expensive. Would it be worth it on this bike? If I were to get it painted, in which colour? Not being an expert on track bikes of the 20s and 30s I'm not sure what the norm was back then (other than the Flyer Saphire Blue).
