Knurling is caused by the feed rollers in the forming machine. the first ones did not have as much pressure pinching the rim down, but they are all knurled to some extent, and I am sure they decided a larger pressure made them all look the same, and rolled with it. I have a few early sets, one...
I sold a seat for one of those for a couple hundred dollars last year. Nobody can ride one. Want a face full of snow? fix it and try! interesting wall hanger, which is exactly what 99.99 percent of all survivors are.
is this for real? Did they make a 26 inch buzz bike? chain guard fits perfect, matches the bike, says Miss Buzz Bike on it. Real long rear seat stay, too long for 20 in. flowered banana seat, Wide Ape Hangers. Proper hand grips, chrome fenders...
possibly prewar Columbia built High Way Patrol !! With High Speed on chain guard! Ladies skip tooth ballooner, rear drop outs. But here's the coolest part... the fenders. No, Not peaked. Curved fender braces. The fenders have a 1/4 in flat top rib front to back on both. AND its got a...
Oh yeah
That's Ann Arbor All right. COLD WET MISERABLE. Every year. How can they continue to produce these shows with no audience??? Look at those pictures. Thousands of bikes... Hundreds of vendors... NO CUSTOMERS. I don't get it. Not enough draw to support a single hot dog wagon. Everyone I...
I have one too...
my serial number is within 300 of the fire restart... BEFORE. My Whizzer was likely IN the building as it burned. Mine has small sprocket, heavy springer, drum front brake, Plain flat rim S2ish, frame crimp, extended brake arm and brazed clamp, and no evidence of engine...
I have a few Original owner bikes, 4 of my motorcycles are, but I have a 47 Schwinn WZ one owner, guy had it in his barn since the rear wheel collapsed, sometime in the 50s. a 76 Yamaha Moto Bike, Original owner had no kids, none coming, and wanted his childhood bike taken better care of, so it...
take the best wheels and parts off the other single speeds and toss them on that pic 6 prewar bike. a bit of paint and the best off of all the others will make someone a cool bike
due to weak budget I only got a couple ballooners, a 52 DX, some various ladies bikes, I did score a 1930s Rollfast of which I liberated the rear rack and sent off to be an ornament. However I did get some very nice lightweights, an 85 Raleigh Gran Prix {ebay} a 63 or so Liberia road bike in...
Its simple. they were all melted down for WW2. a 5 year old mans bike was a useless thing in 1942, and as such it was unpatriotic to hold onto it. They all went into the war effort.
awesome. My last one was 21 inch {ish} in the blue all stock. I got $399 for it 5 years ago or more. and no better then the OPs paint as far as I could tell.
bike collectors want to buy it for $12 and get a straw hat thrown in.
Bike dealers usually have to pay more, and having overhead need to get near market value to eat crackers.
Its realistically worth $500 and up in excellent shape. minor scratches don't hurt those much because its an all...
Just scored a hand made Liberia. All simplex and Mafac. nice original with all the stickers intact. cro mo frame nice lugs, chrome tips, Normandy high flange hubs, waffle rims, quick release front and back, sweet ride! approximately 1964 model
wrong again chummly this is a Voyageur not a dime store voyager. This machine is second only to the paramount. Top shelf every inch. you must own one to appreciate it. No this is not a stupid continental gas pipe boat anchor. This is a high end chrome moly lugged Panasonic, decked out with the...
Brian Crawford has the Schwinn Foremans Daily Log which lists the serial numbers run by the day.
but the "frames in a pile" theory would explain why I have so many balloon 3 speed frames, and a his and hers 1953 dated midweights pair with heavy weight frames, 54 hubs, and balloon forks and...
red band is low and direct, same as yellow, only difference is the plate brake instead of drum. and if assembled wrong or dry they will drag like a boat anchor.
you know the kid wont get any punishment. its just a bike, ask the judge. they will plea bargain it down to illegal parking, and suspend the sentence. He will be ordered to pay the damages and never will.
There is no system in place to make him pay. He can just wait until they quit bothering...
somewhere on this board there was a whatsit thread about a strange wire contraption, that hooked into a ring, and there was a dozen speculations on it being for leak testing tubes, supporting stored tires... Wrong, there is one on ebay right now. Its a Cover! The fabric is long gone, but it had...
When has that happened EVER???
most bike collectors, myself included are cheapskates. There are a few stand up guys that will pay what is worth, and they know who they are. Everyone else is like... I only have $75 dollars, can ya sell me that phantom? So the real market for whole nice bikes...
Solid Gold!!
C63417
Its Gold with red trim under the hideous house paint.
All the same color and trim on the whole bike.
Says Schwinn Tiger and has the Tiger In Red on the gold and red pinstriped chain guard.
54 on the SA 3 speed aluminum hub, S7 wheels and rims.
HEAVYWEIGHT Frame...
79 Klunker 5 all original except chainguard, and shifter moved to handlebars. I ride it a lot, I love it. Real S2 wheels, balloon frame, rear drum brake with 5 speed, the bags are Schwinn Folders, the basket Wald. kickstand was welded on with bird poop. came right off, you can hardly see any...
My 47 Higgins has no "sears" number, just a Westfield serial number, looks like a Columbia frame with cheaper dropouts. I understand all post war Sears were Higgins, but some were actually Elgin leftovers from prewar production. Or so from Rumor Control.
Mike bought a 37 or so Shelby Ladies bike. Perfect donor for my Airflow. Peaked fenders, curved braces, correct crank, forks, looks to be the correct sprocket too, its a bit larger then I would expect a female bike to have. It looks like I can use it all.
well this is the 4th heavyweight early 50s hand brake balloon frame I have. Odd for a bike they never made.
57 would not have those brakes. or alloy hub dated 54. It looks just like a 56 Tiger. It says tiger on it.
says tiger on the chain guard. son has removed some spray paint, appears to be Coppertone colored??
Wiennman brakes aluminum hub, mid weight built with a heavyweight frame as usual.
I might make a panther out of it. c6xxxx number, 11/1/53 era.
was there a bronze ish color in 54?
I don't...
aluminum SA 3 speed dated 54, frame dated 11-53. Troxel saddle, wienemann brakes, painted fenders, Coppertone and white trim. looks like a 54 Jaguar with painted fenders.
Sound correct?
have heard it all before
I don't part vintage bikes, I make them as presentable as possible and sell them. All the while harvesting the best pieces for my own bikes.
But I have parted several hundred motorcycles, and those guys get all kinds of bent out of shape over that!!!
