I just finished the 1968 Coppertone. A Local guy (Bryan) who hosts the Fairborn bike swaps did the powdercoat on both. Not a perfect match but close enough for riders! Swapped out the hard rubber tires for pneumatic coaster brakes and went with Wald training wheels. The green is a 1970.

So I found this tank thinking it fit a Huffman/Huffy style frame, but that wasn't right. I mean it fits in the frame opening just fine, but this tank closes over the top bar and looks like it also goes around the down tube under the tank. Any ideas what this came off of?

Working on a Lil Tiger for my grandson and need a sissy bar. I have one that is a little rough. I'd like to find something a bit nicer if possible. Thanks!

JC Higgins tank - This is for the standard 26" ballooner Higgins/Murray frame. I can provide measurements on the tank if needed. The tank has some pitting, but no holes. It is a decent tank. The horn is attached, but the button is gone and battery holder is pretty rough. There is a switch...

I bought this project from a fellow Caber over a year ago and haven't so much as even touched it. I have too many projects going on, so I think I am going to pass this along. Frame is in gray primer and looks straight. Tank, guard and rear rack are bare metal and are solid. The frame, cups...

I was lucky enough to find a nice skiptooth wheelset and the correct chainguard (in the matching colors!) for my WF, so now I am looking for a WF rack like the one pictured below. Looking for an original paint in the brighter red/white to match the Flyer at the bottom. I figure it is a long...

I picked this up back in the fall. Bike was pretty much all original other than missing the front derailleur. I had been looking for a nice lugged from to build a single speed. I really liked the lugging on this one and figured the seat was worth more than I paid for the bike. I am pretty happy...

I am starting this as a local sale or delivery to Memory Lane in a couple weeks, I may consider shipping if it doesn't sell. I am in Dayton, Ohio and would be willing to meet in the middle within a reasonable distance. 1952? Firestone Super Cruiser. The bike is pretty much all original other...

I've been rearranging the bikes in storage and brought this out for a few pics. I was told it is a late 1952 production. Found it at Memory Lane several years back. Not perfect, but a pretty cool old survivor. I think about the only thing not original other than a few nuts and bolts are the...

This is a local sale to start. I might consider shipping if it does not sell. I am in Dayton and would be willing to drive a bit to meet someone in the middle. I will also deliver the bike to Memory Lane on Saturday. 1950 Western Flyer boy's tanker bike. This bike was won at an Ohio county fair...

Picked this up from Nate a couple months back. 1950 CWC Western Flyer with the jet graphics on the tank. I thought it was pretty cool and would make a fun bike for vintage rides. It is missing the light and the correct rack/guard. The wheels were trashed so I swapped out the skiptooth and made...

Pretty cool accessories....Wingos and reflector Decided to clean out some of my accessories. Got my eyes set on another project. All prices are shipped in the lower 48. Wald Parade Struts - 4 reflectors. SOLD Here they are mounted on my Elgin/Firestone Metal Winged hubcaps. I...

Ride 'em Cowboy Awesome old reflector. It has a metal frame/mount and a plastic material for the reflector. Probably would clean up better if you wanted. Looks pretty cool as it sits. $60 shipped obo

I finally got around to one of my wheel projects this weekend. The rims on my Firestone Pilot were a little rough, so I swapped the hubs over to a different set of rims that I had on the shelf. Only problem is that the nicer rims have a red stripe, where the originals were black. They match and...

$40 obo shipped to lower 48. It is in decent shape and has the mounting clamp.

Picked this up at Memory Lane....Murray/Elgin Firestone Pilot.

I have several of these, so thought I'd get rid of a couple. Trying to clean out the garage. Anyway, the first one is in decent shape, needs cleaned. All of the links are free. 56 links with Master. $40 shipped obo Second one is a little more stiff, but all the links to move ok. I...

Cleaning out a bunch of stuff I probably won't be using. Note that I'll deliver to Ann Arbor or Memory Lane with prepayment. Chrome rack that was on a Shelby. Not 100% sure it was original to the bike. SOLD Huffman rack in rough condition, but salvageable? One tab is broken and...

Looking for a single or a pair of Firestone men's banded pedals for a Super Cruiser. I'll post a pic later.... Thanks

Cleaning out the parts bin. All prices are OBO and shipping is included to lower 48 American Flag reflector. Not even sure where I got this. The tab and frame are metal. The reflector is a soft plastic. Pretty cool accessory. $25 shipped Ladies Torrington pedals. Should clean up ok...

Nice shape overall. Small ding on one side, but easily fixable. $75 obo Here it is on a frame.... Tank

Decent set of Torringtons. They should clean up nicely. The shafts seem straight and spin freely. 4" blocks. Not sure what they are worth, so $50 obo.

I am in the progress of tearing into this Shelby. The tag under the frame says 53. This will be my first repaint. I figure it was a good low budget project to learn on. I've done google searches, I've looked on here and on most of the vintage sites and I can't seem to find much info...

First up is a decent Troxel. You can still make out the stamp. $55 Persons seat from a 50s Shelby $40 Schwinn Lil Tiger Pedals. Nice shape, reflectors are intact. $30 Schwinn Lil Tiger red grips. $12 Delta Aluminum rear fender mounted tail light. Super...

Selling as a package. $45 shipped The grips are on pretty good and I don't want to screw anything up trying to get them off to remove the stem. You can't see it in the pics, but the grips have the small holes in the ends. The rust on the stem should clean up nice. Mostly light surface.

Shelby frame. It has had a re-weld as seen in the pic. You can't really see it with a tank attached. It has a nice badge attached. *SOLD* Shelby tank. $75 (now $60) plus shipping. Delta rear fender mounted light. Inside is clean. I don't have a bulb, so I haven't tested it...

I need a set of truss rods for a Shelby springer. Looking for a nice set. Doesn't have to be perfect, but presentable. The other chrome parts, I found at ML, so just need the trusses....

I meant to post this last week and totally forgot. I had a death in the family and things have been crazy. Anyway, the show is Saturday 6/22. Bryan at Links and Kinks is having the show at his bike shop. Plenty of room for swap spaces, the bike show, etc. Bryan does some killer powder coating...

I need a rider quality 26" Monark kickstand for my Super Cruiser. Here is what it looks like. It is the last part I need! Thanks in advance!

I picked this up at ML last weekend. Over the past week, I stripped it down, detailed it, greased it up and put it back together. Didn't like how the rear wheel was set in the fender, so I moved it forward. I need to remove a link in the chain, but you get the idea. I have some parade struts and...

I need a set of fender braces for a Super Cruiser. I need the front set but would go for both. I'd also be open to a set of cheap fenders if the braces are good. Here is the bike they are going on... I also need a right Firestone branded pedal or a set. I'll try to get a pic of the left...

Yeah, I know they aren't the easiest to find....but I need a dual headlight/tank assembly for a Newsboy/Firebolt. Mine is the straightbar Newsboy Special, but I'll take what I can get. I am fine with rust as long as it is complete and no holes. I plan to repaint it anyway. Here an example of...

His and hers prewar Huffman tankers. Local pickup in Central Ohio or I’ll deliver to Memory Lane or Ann Arbor with pre-payment. Sorry, but not shipping at this time. Asking for $600 or best offer for the pair. Not interested in separating at this time. I have a couple of offers on the boys. I...

I got this old 20s Elgin from flat tire (Don). It was a little rough and not really worth a full restoration, so I build a singlespeed to run around town on. I put on some 700c Deep V wheels laced to a coaster brake. Got it all together and took it out for a very cold and short ride. This bike...

I am looking for the "teardrop" style balloon frame/tank and not the longer banana style. Paint/patina really isn't an issue as I am going to repaint. I might be interested in a complete. Just looking for a solid project at a good price.

Picked this up from Don (Flat tire). I've been looking for an old motorbike to ride around. Did a little cleaning and brought back a nice reddish color and a little of the darts. The headbadge cleaned up really nice. I'll try to get better pics once I get it cleaned up. The serial number on the...

I am selling my 1963 Schwinn American. I am hoping to sell it without shipping. I am in the Dayton, Ohio area and would drive a reasonable distance to meet if the bike is sold. I can also bring it to the Hoosier show in Indy. This is a nice, clean bike. It isn’t perfect, but it is nice. It...

Found this not too far from my house. She looks to be in pretty good shape.

Stopped by Nate's house this morning and brought this home. I've cleaned up many bikes and built several up from the frame, but this will be my first somewhat restoration. I don't want to spend a ton of money on it, but I do want to make it a real head turner.

I'm looking for a decent set of cross brace handlebars for a military style build I'm doing. Not looking for new, but something for a rider. Cheaper the better! :cool:

I am looking for a set of red Higgins mid-50s 26” ballooner fenders. I’d really like the Colorflow style where the bottom brace is painted and wraps around the outside of the fender. It would be nice to find a set in red in hopes to somehwhat match the patina versus repainting. Thanks! Terry

What crappy luck. I was cleaning up an old Higgins beehive and the acorn nut snapped off the "U" shaped upper truss rod that bolts into the fender mount. Here is a pic of what I am talking about. I'd be happy with just the rod, but acorn nuts are a plus. Don't care too much about rust, paint or...

I need a Murray built Higgins or Western Flyer 26" ballooner frame. I am not too concerned with the paint, but I do want a solid and straight frame. Cheaper the better, but PM me with what you have. Also, I'll be at Memory Lane on Friday. Here is a pic of the frame I need. It is the one with the...

Hey there...I am looking for some men's ballooner parts. What I would like is a solid frame/tank with a good amount of patina. I like to restore and customize vintage cruisers. I realize that isn't everyone's cup of tea, but in addition to collecting nice original bikes, I also appreciate a...

I had this for a local sale, but I am now willing to ship to the lower 48. I have also lowered my asking price from $450 to $400obo for the bike. I would guess shipping to be $75 or less depending on where you are. I bought the bike from the original owner. He said the bike is 100% original. I...

Looking to sell or trade an all original 1968 Stingray Deluxe. Asking $450obo or trade. For now, I would like to keep it somewhat local. I am in the Dayton Ohio area, but would be willing to drive an hour or so to meet up. I'll be at the Rat Riders show in Cincy next weekend and I'll be at...

So this past weekend I bought my first vintage muscle bike. I had Stingrays as a kid, but this is my first in the hobby. The bike is a 1968 Stingray Deluxe. I bought it from the original owner and I believe it is 100% original down to the whitewalls. The seat post is bent and the seat is pretty...

Dang....only took me about 9 months to find this stupid light. Funny thing is I found it at Memory Lane on Friday. Then I found one on a bike between my house and my office....then I found two today at Ann Arbor. :rolleyes:

I need a tank for a late 40s/early 50s 26" Higgins like the one pictures below. Paint/surface rust not an issue as I'll be repainting it anyway. Let me know what you have....

I found something that I want more, so I am selling a few bikes....I am in Dayton and would much prefer a local sale. I can bring the bike to DaddyKatz in two weeks. Post war Schwinn DX – $350 - This is a base model DX. Serial number is B#####. Forward facing drops. Overall the bike is super...
