Intriguing, was you aunt a rider, had a connection with the TdF?

Old bikes by the looks of it, and not Tour quality.

Some pictures of the entire bikes and drivetrain components would be helpful.

I don't think anyone here had been born the last time riders used nuts on the wheel axels rather than quick release. Me thinks BSOs.

Not true, this snap of my dad was taken when I was two ....

Hadn't switched to gears either!

WM is a Raleigh frame number, probably in Reynolds 531 so nice but not really valuable.

Interesting collection.
BE748654 - Schwinn "E"=1969
R935096025A AC9J2088 - from the same frame.
The first is a Derby International of Kent Washington. 9=decade, 350=day of year, 9=year of decade. Day 350 of 1999.
The second is the serial number of the frame manufacturer, probably from Taiwan, that was contracted by Derby International.

03TD7029104 - I do not recognize this format.

WM00xxxx with a sideways "S" over the first "0". Raleigh made at Worksop in 1980.

1793816 - Trek aluminum frame from the mid 1990s. There is a website that will list the model for that serial number. Trek serial number list
