But not that bike, it's my F model, this bike











I have never sold a good bike before, but I did 2 Identical Powell Model C's, seriel #1715 and #2013 (it's the dis-assembled one shown above); you pick, but i'm keeping one!

Features:

* All original, 100% complete, all Powell parts!

* New Powdercoat frame, wheels and parts.
* New chrome plating on front end

* Original aluminum chain cover now being made perfect by a master sheet metal fabricator.

PRICE $2999.99 and/or interesting trades (other quality collector bikes or ?)

PLEASE, This post/thread is a "For Sale" offer, not a solicitation for your negative opinion - if you don't think it is worth the price, please just move on, leave the thread for those who want it! THANK YOU!

It is a lot for "just a minibike" . . . . . unless, like me, you think that preserving these very original, restored, collector bikes is important!

Wow Paul, Two beautiful Powells. I Wish I had a little spare change, but I have been buying everything in sight out here. That will be a great addition to someones collection! Great work Paul! A beautiful contribution to Powells and to minibiking in general.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Well James, I just felt that 2 the same was unnecessary and excessive (like 27 total isn't??), that 2 of us could/would get the pleasure of owning them, and that there are other vintage collectible bikes I would like; a trade for an old Doodlebug would be perfect!!! Not to mention that i am seriously running out of room!

WOW Thats NICE!!! were the original seats on powells folded on the ends? just wondering. I did have the pleasure of riding a powell once thanks to smallbikes. It was like riding on a cloud. Very cool minis.

The seat covers were damn simple minded, a surprise in light of the Powell Brothers' more typically complicating or pushing the envelope on most everything!

They didnt use thick material, It was thin so they can fold it like a present, prob. just applied a little heat on the folds. It dosent work so well with the thick material.
