Odd one - downtube says Yé-Yé (of Portugal), but headbadge very clearly says "The Gloria Bicycles England".

The Project shall continue - hundreds of bikes out there waiting for their portraits to be taken.

Seen in the streets of Munich, a lovely old Victoria, with an original tool case and the Victoria badge on the head tube, down tube and rear mud guard. I also ride a Victoria, modern and a beautiful ride - but it doesn't have the charm of the vintage models.

Automoto was one of France’s top cycle manufacturers, their bicycles enjoying much racing success in the early years. The company was established in 1901, by four cycle builders – Chavanet, Gros, Pichard and Cie. They changed the company name to Cycles Automoto in 1910.

Odd one - downtube says Yé-Yé (of Portugal), but headbadge very clearly says "The Gloria Bicycles England".

Fuseta market. Needs more than just a lick of paint.

The Londoner. Sometimes it is easy to see that you've found an old steel frame bicycle.

Given the oval outline behind it I'm not totally convinced this is the original head badge.

"At the beginning of the last century until the mid-1960s, Panther bikes came with the well-known Panther head from Braunschweig. Since the beginning of the 1970s, the company headquarters is located in Löhne / North Rhine-Westphalia."

"NSU was originally known as 'Mechanical Workshop for the Production of Knitting Machines'. The name NSU, which was used starting in 1892 as a brand name or trademark, is a short name for the city name Neckarsulm, which in turn derives from the two rivers Neckar and Sulm, which flow together here. In 1886 they started manufacturing bicycles and as of 1901 they were instrumental in the early development of motorcycles in Germany. In the mid-1950s, NSU was the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world in terms of quantity."

Vintage Adler frame with plunger/spoon brakes - but look at those tires and rims! New and in perfect condition, and the dynamo looks like it still is functioning! Love it!

"In 1981, the original Motobécane was purchased by Yamaha and reformed in 1984 as MBK. Motobécane was a French manufacturer of bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, and other small vehicles, established in 1923. Motobécane is a compound of "moto", slang for motorcycle; "bécane" is slang for "bike."" (Wikipedia)

Headbadge still has the clear plastic covering from when new.

Magna is an inexpensive brand of bicycles sold at discount department stores like Target and Wal-Mart. The bicycles are made in China for Georgia-based Dynacraft. I like the head badge, in which the M looks like mountain peaks riding a bicycle.

The company was founded in 1930 with the opening of a bicycle shop by Franz Epple. About 20 years later, the first self-made Epple bike left production. The bike was named "FEM-Tourist". In the year 1980 Epple was used as a brand name and replaced the hitherto used FEM (Franz Epple Memmingen).

"In 1898 Hercules has 250 employees, 120 production machines and produces 6500 bicycles. Not everyone can afford this luxury. Around 1900, a good bike costs a about 170 marks. A worker earns 16 to 20 marks - a week! He would have to work for a full ten weeks to buy a bicycle - 420 man hours."

Chesini is an Italian bicycle manufacturer from Verona.

In 1925, Gelmino Chesini built his first bicycle. Today the son of the founder, Gabriele Chesini, leads the company. At the 1963 UCI Road World Championships, Flaviano Vincentini won the amateur singles race on a Chesini bike. In 1964 and 1965, the Chesini-equipped Italian amateur national team each won the team time trial.

Today, Chesini bicycles are sold in the Chesini bicycle shop in Verona, otherwise only in Germany and Japan.

"In 1896 the "Pantherwerk" was founded in Magdeburg. The bikes were known as quality products. The trademark was a jumping panther. Cyclists like Willy Arend (1876-1964), Thaddäus Robl (1877-1910) and Anton Huber (1878-1961) became world champions on Panther bicycles."

"Today the areas of administration, warehouse logistics, sales, product development and product design are located in Löhne, Germany. The production sites are in the Czech Republic and Romania."

I am in no way an expert on old bicycles. I gather my information from the Internet. Here is what I found on Dixi in Wikipedia:

"From about 1934 until the 1950s, the brand name "Dixi" was used by the manufacturer Patria. In addition, various "ready-to-wear" (?) manufacturers of the early 1950s used the name, insignia, and logo of the classic Dixi-era 1920s bicycles, so accurate dating is difficult. In the 1980s, the manufacturer Kettler made a bicycle with the name Dixi."

What looks to be an older Magna bicycle painted with a funfetti pattern.

As the badge says, The Hub is a community bike shop in Bellingham, Washington that was founded in 2002.

I have no idea what brand of bicycle this is. Searches for NSW bicycles just gets overwhelmed with New South Wales results.

NSU was a German bicycle, motorcycle, automobile and scooter manufacturer, founded in 1873 in Riedlingen by Christian Schmidt and Heinrich Stoll and relocated to Neckarsulm in 1880.

"Bianchi is an Italian company that's one of the oldest bicycle firms still in business today. Edoardo Bianchi started the company in 1885 as a 21 year-old. Perhaps more so than any other bicycle company, Bianchi is known for a particular hue – celeste, a pale turquoise."

Classy Bassi Bikes are made by C&L Cycles in Montreal.

Not to be confused with the Italian Basso Cicli bicycles.
