Interested in buying collectible bicycles? If you are an avid bicycle collector, there are actually a variety of collectible bicycles that you can add to your collection. Most often, collectible bicycles are sold at yard sales, flea markets, bicycle auctions and on the Internet.

The most collectible bicycles are typically very old models of bikes or bicycles which were rare in their time. Hence, a bicycle can be considered as a collectible item if it is classified as antique, vintage or classic. An antique bicycle is over 70 or 75 years, a vintage bicycle is 30 years or older, and a classic bicycle can be 5 years old or a model that has something unique about it.

The bicycle is a great collectible item since its value increases over a period of time. In fact, penny-farthings (high wheel and high seat bicycles that were produced in the early 1870s) are now worth more than a thousand dollars. Other bicycles that are gathering value are vintage bicycles such as balloon tire bicycles that were popular during the 1940s, middle weight bicycles of the 1950’s, sting ray bicycles of the 1960’s and the standard English 3 speed bicycles of the 1970’s.
