Walneck's began in 1978 as a single, two-sided list of parts and motorcycles for sale from Buzz and Pixie's inventory. Before long, other collectors asked if they could sell parts and bikes in Walneck's, too. The publication evolved into a newspaper that included buy and sell pages, stories, and old road-test reprints.
In the mid-1980's, a small national distributor took on the monthly magazine and stepped up its national sales, particularly in specialty bookstores. In 1997, Walneck's Classic Cycle Trader became a part of the Trader Publishing family. It is now sold on a large number of the Trader magazine racks in conveniences stores and gas marts nationwide, as well as in bookstores nationally and internationally.
Each month the 200-page magazine contains hundreds of antique and classic motorcycles from sellers around the world, with the majority from the United States and Canada.
Every issue is chock-full of old, unusual, and collectible motorcycles, parts, parts sources, old road tests, exciting bike stories, and helpful tips from experts. Collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts will find Walneck's Classic Cycle Trader tantalizing reading.
