BMX too even though there's already a thread.

As the title states, I'm looking for a '36 Colson for in original blue paint. Truss fork(truss rods not important, but needs to have the truss plate) with a smooth crown. No pinch ala '38. Please PM with what you may have. Thanks so much! Mike

Looking for a Goodyear initial tray like this, hopefully in similar condition since it's going on a wonderful original condition lady. Please PM if you can help. Thanks!

@Vintage Paintworx and I are out at the LB swap today selling. Most of my parts are cheap ..some even FREEEEE!!!! Message for more info and prices. Prefer local pick up... especially if you take it all!!!

Is there any one near Brookfield,CT who can help pick up and ship a small bike for me? Time and fuel compensated. Thank you Cabers! Mike

I have a set I picked up a while back at a local swap that I thankfully have held onto for years. They're currently on my blue Monark HTB, but they are bent and have a kink from a previous attempt to repair. Does anyone in Cabeland have experience working on such bars? Please message or post...

I'm building a Schwinn motorbike and am in need of a few pieces. Money is tight, so I'm going to build it by trading parts. First up. Trade a nice prewar Razor stem for an extra Commander stem I have.

Since Mr. Columbia's site is gone, I'm not sure where else to look. I wish I had known so I could've taken screenshots of all his info. Can anyone help with this serial? Pretty sure it's from a Westfield built frame. This is the only pic I can post at the moment. Thanks.

Has anyone found a source for new double-butted spokes that are NOT stainless steel? I'm looking to put together a couple of 700c wheelsets for older 28" bikes & would like to be able to patina the spokes & nips a bit so they're not so shiny. I've seen black spokes available, but I don't think...

I know....yeah right. But I gotta ask. I'd love to find a Delta Wedge fender light in patina'd blue, or a complete unit. If nothing surfaces, then one that can be painted to match would be great. I'll even take one in chrome if one becomes available. Thanks in advance for the help!

Only a 1/4 of a million dollars! https://www.ebay.com/itm/385292317647?campid=5335809022 I mean, luxlow is usually a bit on the high side, but JFC🤯

I'm trying to get another bike of my girl's going in time for a ride later this month. It's a '25 Westfield built Al Ray Ideal that oddly enough came with an Indian chainring, which I'm guessing is original. I'm having a set of Velocity Blunts painted & distressed to match the bike, but need...

Looking for an original Colson Clipper Double Eagle badge to help complete a potential project. Maybe a lil nicer than the one pictured would match the patina of the bike better. Thanks for the help.

Sure don't look like a Schwinn(every old bike is a Schwinn) nor a straight bar. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me tho🧐 https://www.ebay.com/itm/354354644376?campid=5335809022

Has anyone done this? I have a couple idea, but wanted to pick your brains before I do anything. My goal is to modify it as little as possible. Thanks in advance.

Not mine, but curious as to what era these are from. My girl's '40 Huffman WF Twinflex came with them, but who knows if they're original. The construction looks postwar to me, similar to Magnas, but I can't be sure. Anyone know or have an ad showing them? Regardless, they sure are cool! Thanks.

I have an early Safety that I purchased earlier this year that I need to somehow get home. The seller does not want to ship since the bike pretty rusted, most likely seized. I would prefer to get it out here whole, but I have a Cabe friend who is willing to soak it & break it down if I can get...

When I saw @Mabuhay's thread on his crusty black '36 Schwinn DBR, I was hooked. The way he went about the build and rejuvenation of this awesome rare-ish frame was just as I would have. Keep it simple, full mechanical rebuild and most importantly....preserve the crust. Oh, and it reminded me of...

While moving my girl's new '37 Vogue yesterday morning, I noticed what I thought were chips in the rear Person's 219 reflector. Upon a closer look, it almost looks like it's actually a green (Uranium Glass) reflector that's been painted red. Odd thing is I don't see any paint on the housing...

My girl and I went to go look at some vintage stoves yesterday after the Cyclone Coasters Ride. After checking out our bikes, the shop owner mentioned he had picked up an old bike recently and asked if I'd help him get it going. Well, to my disgust(JK😂) it was a Schwinn. Thinking a 40 or so DX...

Nice as a rider or display saddle, hard to find chrome plated chassis Troxel perfect for your deluxe 40-41 Elgin or other prewar bike. Good looking wear tabs intact. Includes nice plated seatpost and shim. One side of covering has come loose but could be glued/repaired if so desired. Thanks for...

Slowly I've been adding interesting early bicycles to my collection including my Racycle Rideabout, Crescent chainless & G&J. I've been on the lookout for an early parallel double bar, so when this popped up at Turlock I knew I had to have it. Unfortunately it had caught me when the bike fund...

***** DATE CHANGED TO APRIL 9TH ***** YES!!! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! For the last two years our past attempts at this have been thwarted by the rise of COVID and everyone asked to isolate at home & limit contact with others. That being said, at this event masks are still encouraged outside, but...

Going though my stash I came a cross a few grips you don't see every day. Post yours up!

I'd like to gather all known 1937 Colson Vogues here for Cabe records. If you would like to post your serial number, great. If not, pics & getting a count is what's really important. I'd like to add, that partial bikes, frames, etc are fine to post as well. I'll post pics of bikes I have found...

I'd like to start a thread where we can gather any and all original Colson Waterfall badges. I'm curious to see how many different ones there are, but please feel free to share yours even if the same style has been posted. Thanks for playing!

This seems to be a rarely seen badge. I've only come across two...and both were 38 Colsons. Odd that both were waterfall badges too. Are there any others out there? Please post any info and/or pics you might have. Thanks.

Trying to add the finishing touch to a lovely lady. PLEASE private message. Do not post here. Hoping we can trade for something cuz my bike funds are slim these days! Thanks, Mike E
