I'm sure its a one of a kind, but what is it?

Saw some interest in plates from earlier postings so I thought I'd bring out a few dinosaur's. (1936 California) $45+ $6 ship. (1935 Oregon) $45+ $6 ship (1933 Ohio) $40 +$6 ship (1936 Missouri) $40 +$6 ship (1952 ILL.) $25+ $6 ship (1932 Wisconsin) $45+ $6 ship. Study the images as some...

Had to display my new firearm addition, .30 M1 Garand. This one I have been researching for and finally found and bought. The serial # dates the gun from the Springfield Armory 1942. Documents confirm it was an issued rifle in WW2. Re-barreled in 1955 by Springfield Armory (post Korean war)...

Just found this Taylor on Craigslist for $60. Needs a front tire, not sure if its a 16 or 20". Appears to be in decent original condition. I have a few vintage tricycles but no expert on them. Is this a good deal? Any trivia you may have on this model would be appreciated.........Roger

Would this be a head turner or what? I'd like to do a full speed downhill run with it but what about wheel wobble?

Here we have a Marx transporter in good+ condition, circa 1930's. Original wood wheels with hub caps, loading ramps and three carry on vehicles with the bread truck being the rarest. This truck displays very nicely and are not seen often for sale. Will safely pack and ship on my dime to the...

Took the Oriole out early to pedal the cobwebs off and found I'm too old to out pedal chasing dogs. Found it much easier to stop and throw the bike at them and simply order parts as needed. With that in mind, are there any good chased by dog stories to light off Sat. morning? Tattered...

Or is it ?

Go to You tube or Google and type, (John Wayne shooting bicyclist). Its a minute and thirteen second video of another side of the duke..................

While trying to find a Gasser article in my "Rodz" magazine collection (July 2014) I came across this story about Tick Oner and his Excelsior that the Cabe helped him with. Perhaps one of you may remember being the supplier of his parts. Read this short story, and the first paragraph that talks...

Beautiful (original) nickel vintage rear hub. 36 holler 10 tooth cog and the brakes work fine. Pictures don't do it justice, this hub gleams.The threads are fine, camera glare and flash are deceiving...Any reasonable offers out there??????

This Hawthorne 28" rimmed bike is not in my interest now for a rebuild. What I did do was the hard part by removing the crust, rust, spilled caked varnish by silica media blasting down to bare metal. The frame and forks are perfect, no repairs needed. Brazed joints perfect. Seat stays, chain...

Here's my winter project now completed. A once crusty tossed Hawthorne is up and running. The "ouch" happened when I left for just a moment to get another support. It left me with repainting, striping, and clearing the forks and frame again. The gas tank I made from 2" DWV copper pipe, 1 1/2"...

My longest friend of 65 years, from kindergarten to present has finally unearthed a few special bikes for me to share with you, as he is moving into a larger home for museum type reasons. These he has had for decades as well as a great collection of vintage toc motorcycles. My smart phone camera...

Show images of your "chainless" bicycles. I have always loved the look and mechanics of these bikes and for some reason I don't see many images or origin stories behind them.

I've been looking thru Ebay without too much luck for my wants, perhaps someone here would know. I want a all white tire in 26X2.00 size. 26X2.125 is to wide for my application project. I've found 26X1.95 in all white, but not 2". Any suggestions? Thanks....

Just couldn't stop admiring an image I saw of a Desoto bicycle circa: late 50's? Cant seem to find much info on the bike. Anyone here own one and can post images? Looks like it's a dream bike somewhat and wonder if many sold. Bet finding replacement parts could be a challenge.

Or just a family of "Caber's"

About what time period and model bikes had the fork truss rods join at the top (single nut) in a wishbone manner? Pre 20's?

Nice straight unmolested original head badge. Willing to trade for a 24 or 26 tooth Mead skip tooth chain ring as illustrated in this posting, would also consider a Westfield skip tooth chain ring. Mid to late teens or early 20's. If no transactions for the trade will offer again and sell the...

My son sent me this from Seattle craigslist posting #5266809629 clever and different but $3000 is another story.

Does anyone know what the final production year was for the Excelsior Cadillac 28" bike? And when it stopped being head badged as such. Thanks

check out this ebay item#391278706571 the booklet has bike safety (1947) cartoons that the captions don't beat around the bush. Death and injuries pointed out all in cartoon form. I remember taking a few diggers myself as a dumb ass kid, but nothing like these drawings.......Roger

Greetings, I've recently restored/enhanced a 46 Schwinn Admiral. I did all the work on this bike and its looks good and rides like a dream. I took the pile of parts and started by media blasting frame but did replace the fenders, too roached. I polished the original springer assembly (light...

I have what is a cleaned and repainted EA cylinder plunger horn. This rare guy produces a sharp horn trumpet honk, not ahooga type. Smack down the plunger and off it goes. Display it on your museum piece or use it. It didn't meet my application with my cross bar, so Im passing it along for $100...

Greetings bike guru's. I have several questions about Elgins. First I see Elgin's for sale images that are of the latter 20's and some from the mid 30's that are head badged with the appropriate slanted Elgin logo. Mine has no holes in the head where it had one and I have the factory painted...

posted earlier under restoration section (with no results) a question of where the single wire on/off fender switch connects to in the battery tray. If you read my story in that section you may understand better what I'm trying to figure out. Perhaps someone can send me an image of there wire...

Darn it, this ones got me stumped. I ordered a new battery tray for my Schwinn and cant quite get through the issue I'm having with the one wire fender switch. Of course as soon as the two batteries are installed the light comes on and the purpose of the switch that came with the tray is to off...

I've got an early 30's Elgin straight bar and would like to find a tank for it. Need not be an exact Elgin tank, but one that could fit. crusty is fine, Thanks

Greeting balloon bike experts, can you go thru a little trouble for me and look at eBay item number: 201417026451 and tell me if I could replace the sprocket on it now with a skiptooth cog? I would like to win these wheels for my 46 Schwinn as Im looking for a nice chrome set like these but...

I need a pair of nice chrome complete rims for my 1946 Schwinn ballooner. "Skip Tooth" 26 inch and would like decent chrome with no blistering or peeling. Im finding a few examples on feebay, but thought I would check here first. Thank you.

I failed to ask a second question in my S-2 thread, but Im receiving a 1946 men's 26" Schwinn fat bar skip tooth "Admiral", it has a chain ring with a round clover leaf hole pattern. When I do a image search of this bike model I see more sweet heart styles and some round patterns on the Phantom...

In regard to a 1940's girls 26" Road master balloon bike, are the wheels similar to a Schwinn S-2 rim? Who were the manufacturers of these various 40's rims found on these 26" balloon bikes, I mean I don't believe every bike brand back then made there own wheels did they? Thanks...

Been absent from the site, and trying to get my health back in order. Presently restoring a H.D. wide glide motorcycle but soon to embark on a 1946 Schwinn fat straight bar. I'm writing this with added pictures to share a "wish I didn't sell it moment". I sold the Elgin tank bike her locally in...

A simple question from a simple mind. Has there been published or is there a book/manual available that is a cross reference on interchangeable balloon bikes models and there parts? Ive got one for H.D. motorcycles even firearms. These things are extremely helpful on restorations or rebuilds...

For cabe members before it goes to feebay. I prefer to sell as a lot, following original items from a mens 26" Columbia three star delux. Fork with nice condition truss rod assembly. New departure "d" 36 spoke hub, turns free and brakes quick. Delta horn, I put my ohm meter on it and had...
