For the 6 day race bike and vintage track bike lovers:
I just sold this 1931 Mitton Cycle to The Arlington Club in Portland Oregon for their cycling room. The club has asked me to find out any information I can about the builder. This beautiful bike is a little before my time. Can anyone here tell me about Mitton Cycles. Take a look at the picture posted on The Bicycle Trader site and let me know. Anything you can tell me about the builder, who rode them and what happened to the company would be greatly appreciated.

Mitton Track
click on bike for larger view Ohio-built Mitton cycle made in 1931 for a cyclist in San Carlos, California, and raced in the 1932 Olympic trials. The bike has wooden rims, BSA cranks, steel track bars and other period correct parts. We also have correspondences from Mitton to the shop that ordered the bike.
Thanks
