1950 Gold-Rad Bicycle with Victoria engine Frame no. 68529 Engine no. 54960
The company that would go on to manufacture Gold-Rad bicycles was founded in Siegberg, Germany in 1892 by Benjamin Goldberg, whose first catalogue of own-brand machines was published in 1912. After WW2 Gold-Rad diversified, adding lightweight motorcycles and mopeds to the range together with folding bicycles and sports equipment. The company ceased trading in 1998.
Founded in Nürnberg, Germany in 1886, bicycle-maker Victoria added motorcycle manufacturing to its portfolio towards the end of the 19th Century. The firm used proprietary engines initially before acquiring the means to make its own in the late 1920s. Small-capacity two-strokes formed the mainstay of production immediately after WW2.
Remarkable in retaining its original paintwork, this Victoria-powered Gold-Rad is equipped with a Dunlop saddle, Hella horn, and Bosch lamp. There are no documents with this Lot.
Intéressante pour sa peinture d'origine, cette Gold-Rad à moteur Victoria est équipée d'une selle Dunlop, d'un avertisseur Hella et d'un phare Bosch. Aucun document n'est joint à ce lot.
