The Official Vintage Bicycle Manufacturer Catalog List w/Links
I'm going to start this list as I've never seen one of these here on BikeForums before. The purpose of this is to be a reference for both new and old members, as well as internet lurkers/researchers (raises hand) that need information or who may become future members. The initial scope is to be makes of complete bicycles, not component manufacturers (though that could be a later edition). Perhaps this can ascend to Sticky status, or perhaps it will live its life in the general thread section.
This list will be ever growing or changing. This list will not/never be 100% complete, conclusive, or exhaustive, but I welcome and appreciate your contributions to get it closer!
I'll be happy to update, add, or edit when needed (or perhaps the duty can be shared?). I truly want this to be a helpful and central source for all of us, even as there are a number of places on the web that do have catalogs listed--they're just not listed here. I will input my saved list of links and dig for some more, but know that this will require input from many of you who have knowledge and interest in companies that I don't (or am not aware of). The sources for these will be far and wide, with perhaps even multiple sources for a company. Some sources will have multiple companies' catalogs, so this could get tricky. It will be a work in progress with occasional errors (that I will work to amend as soon as I can), so please be patient.
I will try and post specific years of catalogs, even specific links, but that will take time and is a bit more of a "Phase II" kind of endeavor. Some years of catalog will be unknown or un-stated, and thus will simply be a link to the company's catalog. Update: I am phasing in the year feature.
A huge thank you for current and former BF members, as well as all the others that have posted and hosted scanned catalogs over the years. This list could not have been made without you!

GENERAL LISTINGS / INDEXES OF COMPANIES THAT I AM UNABLE TO INDIVIDUALLY LINK TO
Retrobike.uk has many catalogs, but directly linking from BikeForums brings up a warning page, but not when I access it normally via my browser. ( https://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/...ive/?g2_page=6 will get you to it)
Velobase is ever the resource (http, thus 'not secure', so you'll have to search for "Velobase catalog scans" to access it), and as a number of us know, they have many bicycle and component manufacturers' catalogs. Some are links to PDFs, others are .zip files to download.
Three Speed Hub, although not singularly dedicated to bicycles or companies that build bicycles with such gearing, is another source of catalogs etc (and of the quite vintage kind). Five pages worth, or you can choose a decade to narrow things down a bit.
Equusbicycle has a grid's worth of catalogs, but I can't seem to get the images to load. Perhaps you'll fare better.
Another members-only (unless you possess a Google account, then you should be fine) resource is the Veteran-Cycle Club Online Library, which in addition to being a catalog and literature source, is also another cycling community that one can engage with.
This list will be ever growing or changing. This list will not/never be 100% complete, conclusive, or exhaustive, but I welcome and appreciate your contributions to get it closer!
I'll be happy to update, add, or edit when needed (or perhaps the duty can be shared?). I truly want this to be a helpful and central source for all of us, even as there are a number of places on the web that do have catalogs listed--they're just not listed here. I will input my saved list of links and dig for some more, but know that this will require input from many of you who have knowledge and interest in companies that I don't (or am not aware of). The sources for these will be far and wide, with perhaps even multiple sources for a company. Some sources will have multiple companies' catalogs, so this could get tricky. It will be a work in progress with occasional errors (that I will work to amend as soon as I can), so please be patient.

A huge thank you for current and former BF members, as well as all the others that have posted and hosted scanned catalogs over the years. This list could not have been made without you!

GENERAL LISTINGS / INDEXES OF COMPANIES THAT I AM UNABLE TO INDIVIDUALLY LINK TO
Retrobike.uk has many catalogs, but directly linking from BikeForums brings up a warning page, but not when I access it normally via my browser. ( https://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/...ive/?g2_page=6 will get you to it)
Velobase is ever the resource (http, thus 'not secure', so you'll have to search for "Velobase catalog scans" to access it), and as a number of us know, they have many bicycle and component manufacturers' catalogs. Some are links to PDFs, others are .zip files to download.
Three Speed Hub, although not singularly dedicated to bicycles or companies that build bicycles with such gearing, is another source of catalogs etc (and of the quite vintage kind). Five pages worth, or you can choose a decade to narrow things down a bit.
Equusbicycle has a grid's worth of catalogs, but I can't seem to get the images to load. Perhaps you'll fare better.
Another members-only (unless you possess a Google account, then you should be fine) resource is the Veteran-Cycle Club Online Library, which in addition to being a catalog and literature source, is also another cycling community that one can engage with.

Mark Bulgier has a lot of old catalogs on his site: bulgier.net - /pics/bike/Catalogs/
I've scanned a few and supplied them to Mark (many years ago). I think my 1974 and 1976 Raleigh catalogs are my best offerings.

Remember, I am looking for LINKS and not necessarily companies. I have or will have listed many, but some may not have a link to a past catalog (or catalogs). If you don't see a company on here AND you have a link to their catalog(s), then please post.
Thank you!
Thank you!

I checked the old links I had for old Orbea Catalogs but it doesn't seem to be working now. I'll dig into the archives to see if I can find something that works.
