circa 1983 Vintage Terry Step Through Road Bike

This is truly a basement-bred Terry bike. The decals date the bike back to my basement days when I first started building bikes. The cut vinyl Terry decals were designed by a co-worker of mine at Xerox. This is the first (and only) step through frame I ever built, although I have designed many since then. The owner supplied all of the components and I built the frame to her specs, which included chrome-plated fork blades and rear stays. The tricky part was figuring out where to find “lugs” in the crazy angles needed on a step through. TIG may have been around then, but I wasn’t interested in using it. I ended up with a combination of “cut and pasted” lugs and fillet brazing.

The original owner’s choice of components is quite eclectic as you can see from the listing below.

The current owner assures me the bike is road-worthy and anxious to get out on the road again. It has recently been professionally serviced and is ready to ride.

The price of the bike is $1650. It is in Western New York. For more information, please contact Jon at hubbardartworks@yahoo.com.
