Since Howie Cohen's passing, no items are for sale.

Gordon Cycle & Supply Co was managed by the Gordon brothers, Jack & Abe. It is currently managed by Lou Gordon, Abe`s son. I recall hearing their stories about how their facility was located in a somewhat dangerous section of the city so they had a guard dog and at times, Jack would sleep in the office. This image is an advertisement from the November issue of Bill Quinn`s Bicycle Journal magazine. At the time they distributed bicycles from Murray, Columbia, Indian & Phillips. They also distributed a full line of parts & accessories. See the picture gallery. There is a very nice story covering the history of Gordon Cycle and the Gordon family authored by Michael Sangiacomo, Plain Dealer Reporter, photos by Arnold Berger, at click here.
