Foundry Cycle Works — Downtown Pontiac
Old Bikes
Wanted.
Got an old bike sitting in the garage, basement, or barn? We want to hear about it. Foundry Cycle Works buys vintage and used bicycles — one at a time or by the collection.
Garage finds, estate bikes, project bikes, parts collections, and anything with two wheels and a story.
What We Buy
If it has two wheels, we’re interested.
We’re not looking for perfect bikes. We’re looking for bikes with potential — good bones, interesting history, or parts worth saving.
🏚
Vintage & Classic
Schwinn, Raleigh, Peugeot, Fuji, Motobecane, Huffy, Murray, Columbia, and other American and European classics from the 1950s–90s.
🔧
Project Bikes
Incomplete, rusty, or non-running bikes with good frames and salvageable components. We’ll assess what’s there and make an offer.
📦
Parts Collections
Boxes of old parts, loose components, NOS items, and surplus stock. Derailleurs, cranks, wheels, saddles, and anything else bicycle-related.
🏠
Garage & Estate Finds
Bikes that have been sitting for years. Estate collections, storage unit finds, and anything that’s been waiting for the right person to come along.
⭐
Schwinn Specifically
We have a particular interest in American-made Schwinn bicycles — Varsity, Continental, Collegiate, Stingray, Sting, and others. Any condition.
