Loose cog Posted March 13, 2015 Share Looks like a 60's or 70's track crank, pre NJS days? The holes for small chain ring confuse me. Check if the teeth ar for a 1/8 chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibex Posted March 17, 2015 Share This is a cool thread. I didn't know that so many other people also enjoy old bikes. My son and I rode this 1970's DHC tandem in the Cape Town Cycle Tour two weeks ago. HeyYou, DJR and EvanB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibex Posted March 17, 2015 Share The badge on this DHC is slightly different to the badges that I have seen posted previously on this thread. The D, H & C are all in caps. Also note the water bottle cage affixed to the handlebars. EvanB, nathrix, ren8gor and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibex Posted March 17, 2015 Share It is amazing that the cables run directly on the frame! What a beautiful bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cotter pin cranks would lead me to think so but the oversized down tube and flared headset confuse me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cotter pin cranks would lead me to think so but the oversized down tube and flared headset confuse me! Loose cog, the oversized down tube was clearly ahead of its time. It has a single Zeus shifter on the down tube. Originally the bike was a 5 speed. I fitted the period double chainring about 15 years ago when my wife and I used to ride it (before we had children). Subsequently I replaced the seat posts (which kept coming loose) and the stem and handlebars to make the bike rideable. The front fork is from a standard bike with bracing added on. There is a headlamp which attaches to the boss that is visible on the fork. Edited March 18, 2015 by Ibex Loose cog and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where were they made?DHC stands for Deale & Huth Cycles, a South African company. Fabrication of the bikes was done by Hans Huth who was of German descent. Most guys in their 50's or older had one as a kid or knew someone who had one. Edited March 18, 2015 by Ibex Beattbox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
