Here is a link to making a set of jigs for straightening wood rims from a 597/S6 and a 622 29er rim. measure your rims to see what you will need! The link I had from years ago was dead, but I was able to find it again. In Swedish, but google will translate it close enough and Deepl will do a...
My wife and I have been watching the French TV show Tour de France-Unchained on Netflix. Billed as a docudrama, it's missing the scripted and manufactured drama that makes so much TV unwatchable, but the real stuff provides plenty of drama. Goes in deeper with the teams, riders, and strategy...
An industrial steam whistle, also works on 50 PSI of compressed air. Fact sheet from the manufacturer is at:

A well used Kahlenberg 119 AMP whistle. Top section seems to be a little off center. Solid brass, the manufacturer claims...
Here's a weirdo non bicycle item a sealed package of 10 Disston hand saw logo screws, originally used to hold the handle on the saw blade. Only the logo screws, none of the plain. I'm planning to use these a knobs on organizer drawers. Would look great on a Kustom with buzzsaw wheels! Several...
I'm down to one Brooks saddle for a current project, and AliExpress sent me a notice that an old-timey looking saddle was on sale for 20.00 US delivered. Curiosity get the better of me, and I ordered one. Sadly, it's a lousy saddle. The springs are really soft and wiggle sideways as you...
I ran across an antique car electrical supply house that carries old style fabric covered wire, switches, bulb sockets, etc. I've never ordered from them, but it looks like they carry useful bits for bike electrical systems:

I'm thinking of these bars for a project- like Lauterwassers, they seem to be a way to get some extra reach with a short stem. I like the Lauterwassers I have on a bike, but would like to hear from Condorino riders. They seem to come in narrow to insanely hipster fixie narrow...
Thanks in...
Dang. Posted in the everything else wanted.... BUT:
Hi All.
For a project I am looking for a nice thin set of cottered steel cranks to fit a standard 5/8" crank axle, not the French 15.5mm. These have to attach to an odd size Thompson bottom bracket with 5/8" spindle. Pedal threads don't...
Hi All.
For a project I am looking for a nice thin set of cottered steel cranks to fit a standard 5/8" crank axle, not the French 15.5mm. These have to attach to an odd size Thompson bottom bracket with 5/8" spindle. Pedal threads don't matter, but I have my heart set on a delicate looking...
Ran across an interesting article:
https://blockclubchicago.org/2022/09/20/rat-patrol-tall-bikes-chicago-meet-the-crew-riding-11-foot-tall-freak-bikes-on-chicago-streets/
A lot of about 40 wheels and hubcaps from toy cars and vehicles- most are rubber, some rubber with metal hubs and some are wood. Largest is about 2" in diameter, smallest 1/4", most are 1" plus or minus. 25.00 shipped in the CONUS, PayPal preferred.
Deal or no Deal! 1960's (?) made in USA men's white rubber pedals. 1/2" threads, 4" wide. Seem to be new, some flecks of rust and discoloration from leaking grease. These will need to be re-greased before putting to serious work. The push nuts holding the cage together can be replaced at...
Brand new, in original box with original greased paper. Some spots of rust on the chain, but really nice overall. Comes with a master link, 56 links long. At a whisper under 1/4" between the side plates I'm thinking this is a 3/16" chain. From the un-bombed factory and a not very legible...
A nice nameplate off of some machinery- reads "AMERICAN" in all caps on black background in what JC Whitney would call "gleaming chrome". Displays nicely, 4 holes to mount it 13" X 3.75" X 3/16" My best guess is cast pot metal and heavy. $20.00 Shipped in the CONUS. Make me an offer if you want.
A NOS Quincy, Illinois 1952 bicycle license tag with Number 1952! Interesting, and ideal for your 1952 bike. A little staining/oxidation that will clean up easily if you don't like the patina. All lettering is embossed and paint filled. Shipping is free in the CONUS.
Up for bid, the rear triangle of a 1902 Ladies Columbia Chainless. Shaft mechanism spins freely but you will need to fab something for whatever cranks you use to mate up for your incredible custom production. There is a ding on the right seatstay close to the bottom. Buyer pays 30.00 towards...
A very nice earless dropstand. A little wear from use but it does not seem to have been dragged. Nice plating and no crusty rust. Buyer pays 10.00 towards shipping in the CONUS. Overall length is 14.5 inches, so for a 26" wheel?
A seatpost binder bolt and nut, and headset cups from a 1902 Columbia. Beautifully machined, races are not pitted but overall rust- residual grease protected the races. Shipping is free in the lower 48.
Up for Deal or No Deal, a nickel plated brass toolbag sized tire pump. I tested it and it DOES NOT work, but it looks nice. Main body is 5 1/4" long and 7/8" diameter with some dings, and of course the rubber hose is fossilized. With ambition this could be made operational again- remove the...
A pair of used 1960s plastic Kwik-Speed pedals. I've ridden on this pair and they actually work quite well- they are emphatically not cheap tricycle quality pedals. The ends have hit the ground in a turn a few times. More of a novelty item than a restoration part. Some web chatter says the...
Up for grabs is what sure looks like a Delta Roll-Way generator headlight- illustration is from the Sacred Text, the 1938 Island Cycle Supply catalog reprint. It is missing the back half of the handlebar mount. Bell is scratched up, the chrome ring is in nice shape and the vacuformed lens is...
Worn, but intact- no chunks missing- Schwinn oval handgrips in black. Hard, worn but pretty presentable as survivors. And comfy- I rode with them a bunch of times. A ghostly "Schwinn" in the ovals is visible and looks pretty cool (to me). Buyer pays $5.00 towards shipping in a box to the...
A Morrow 36 hole hub shell with pretty good chrome- about an inch and a half is gone from the lip on the driver side, some scuffs, fly specks elsewhere and some wear from loose spokes. Missing the cover and screw for the oil port. AND a pretty good brake sleeve with 5-7 grooves left on the...
An original un-used decal sheet . Comes with it's original glassine envelope. "Sheet No. 216 WING TRANSFER DECORATION for BICYCLES etc. " Wings are 4" long and 1 3/8" high. Free 1st Class shipping in an envelope with stiffeners in the CONUS. No guarantee, but I have used decals in similar...
Up for grabs is an original Morrow Coaster Hub box. Displays nicely, but some seams are open and there is a crease on one end. Still has the die cut insert to hold the hub. The main surround color is a dark Navy Blue, although it looks black in the pictures. Buyer pays 6.00 towards shipping...
A NOS USA Bicentennial license plate from 1976. Lithographed/silk screened aluminum with a ridge around the perimeter. about 5 3/4" X 2 3/4". Shipping is free in a first class envelope with stiffeners in the CONUS.
This is an original/period test strike of a Pullman Headbadge for the Hub Cycle Co. in Boston MA. The die is only in the picture for reference- it is not for sale! Shipping is free in the CONUS, payment by PayPal strongly preferred.
A frame mounted pump with really nice nickel plating. 1910s-1930s? No dents in the barrel, so conceivably could be made to work with a new leather cup- only a trace of the original is left. Handle is bare wood and the rubber hose and tire valve fitting is missing. Not bad for display, since...
A smaller size handlebar mount siren for your trike, but it will also fit on a full size bike. 2 1/4" in diameter, 2 1/2" high without the handle, 4 1/2" high with the handle fully extended. Works great, howls like a banshee. Stamped " * FIRE CHIEF JUNIOR SIREN * " on the face, some lost...
Up for Deal or No Deal, a nickel plated brass toolbag sized tire pump. I tested it and it DOES NOT work, but it looks nice. Main body is 5 1/4" long and 7/8" diameter with some dings, and of course the rubber hose is fossilized. With ambition this could be made operational again- remove the...
New, still stapled in the bag Schwinn Approved Gulotta/ Bright Star Industries 1 3/4" plastic reflector with instructions and mounting hardware,. Mounts to "either brake pivot or underside of stay bridge". Aluminum backing plate is stamped "Gulotta/ Bright Star Industries Clifton, NJ No...
Deal or No Deal! A brass test strike of a headbadge for a Miami Eclipse. Uncut! No holes! Easy enough to cut out and add holes to give your nameless bike heritage or just admire as is, Embossed brass, from an original ca. 1910 die- not from the Miami factory. Free first class shipping on...
One Quincy Illinois 1951 Bicycle license- unused, type that straps around a frame tube. Includes free shipping in a first class envelope with stiffeners to protect it. Lets start at $15.00 US.
Available is a Diamond Bicycle chain- the ends are missing, but it displays nicely flat and will fold back into a rectangle. Period price on one side, clean on the other. This will be shipped at no cost via first class mail in an envelope with stiffeners.
A lot of people- myself included have had a hard time wrapping our brains around how planetary gearbox/hub like a Sturmey Archer hub actually works. Here is a US Army training film from 1953 that does a good job of explaining how planetary gears work on a tank transmission which is just larger...
From the local neighborhood whiners board, a pretty cool project. If you have little kids in your life, they need to see Miyazaki movies. This is from My Neighbor Totoro- Upholstery meets pedal car:
Now that the brits have "regained their sovereignty" (obviously, I am not a fan) it has become difficult for them to buy a Brooks saddle because Brooks was sold off to Selle Italia, who consolidated their distribution in the EU closer to the home office. I wonder how many more of these glitches...
I just ran across aerosol Plasti-Dip. I've used the stuff in a can for plier handles, etc. but had no idea it came in a spray can. Costumers apparently use it to even out surfaces but if it goes on really thin it could replicate the original oilcloth finish. I have not tried it myself, but...
For sale, one nice Ibis titanium quill stem. This is really nicely finished- a little paint loss on the logo but the rest is smooth shiny and light. 22.2mm stem diameter, takes 25.4mm/ 1 inch bars, 90 degree bend and 90mm reach. Add some bling to your road bike. Or your cruiser. $100.00...
From some scrapped piece of equipment, a chrome plated nameplate that says "AMERICAN". Non magnetic, a hole in each corner for mounting. About 13" X4" X 1/4" $25.00 shipped in the CONUS from San Francisco. PayPal strongly preferred.
This is a working Benjamin Electric model H9 Submarine dive klaxon. Date of manufacture is 06-08-1942. The body is all cast bronze, even the horn and cover plate. It would look great cleaned up and polished, or leave it battleship gray Runs off of 115VAC. I have hot wired it and it is...
I have this chainguard of unknown origin:
That mounts via some slots on the inside:
I've seen something like this before but it was a long time ago. Does anyone have any ideas on what the original hardware might have looked like? I'll need to fab something up, but the original designers...
I found this stylish but not great quality bike for free on craigslist. I've always wanted a chrome bike! It's a Chappelli, a ChiCom bike designed in Australia. The company is either defunct or "on hiatus". From what little I can find on the web is is a "Three speed Chrome" from 2012 (?) or...
