Vintage bicycle posters are colorful reminders of the love affair humans have had with the bicycle. They can feature advertisements for bicycles, announcements of bicycling events or they can simply feature a classic bike, like the Adler Bicycle. The attraction of collecting vintage bicycle posters is their beauty. Vintage bicycle posters were truly created as a work of pop art.

Now that you know how to spot a good deal and how to spot a bad deal, your next step is to review your options and to select a type of vintage bike poster to specialize in. You can specialize in an era, a style, or even a size of vintage bicycle poster. After selecting your specialization learn as much as you can about your vintage bicycle poster genre. This research needs to include reading books on the genre and viewing as many posters from this genre as possible.

When you are ready to shop for your vintage bicycle posters you have several options. You can shop online, you can buy posters at art auctions, you can search for vintage posters at garage sales and you can also find great poster deals at flea markets and trade shows. When shopping for your vintage posters make sure you can tell the difference between an authentic vintage poster and a reproduction. You will also want to look at the condition the poster is in. Look for rips, wrinkles, folds and fading. While these things come naturally with age, excess wear will devalue your poster art investment.
