Rims, rims, rims, prewar…I might need a nut, a spring, a spoke…enough to go around the block and back again! I tried to sell them at the Turlock swap meet, but only sold one? I guess they’re not worth much anymore???

These bicycles are works of art! Mine has never rolled across the ground and has only been hung on the wall and displayed in a museum. Thanks for taking us along your journey.

JAF/CO did metal work and Bob Rose did the painting. I hunted down the parts. My frame number is B18554 and the fork had the holes for light bracket.

What color combination are you considering? Is there a rare color that no one has seen? This is my favorite frame…art on wheels!

With peripheral neuropathy from chemo I put together a bike I could ride from pole to pole. My feet are like walking on tennis balls and they slip off the pedals.

70 years ago at my grandparent’s vineyard in the California Central Valley. The bicycle had 2x4 blocks on the pedals and with a back porch step up I could ride!

The “Big Kid” bell add on… move or I’ll run you over!!!

Sorry no pictures… but I’ll be bring pre war rusty rims, fenders, a couple of slide seats, a complete 1937 Schwinn girls project, 1936 Rollfast boys project, 1939 Mailman pull cart, 1940ish girls Manton Smith, hard rubber boys 16” boys project. TOC lamps, seat clamps, and collectibles. Badges...

My wife’s 1953 Schwinn she just might ride some day?

Brant, I wonder why you would want this? Nice score, Jon

Cleaning out a 20’x30’ storage of mostly 30’s to 50’s rims, parts, frames, and bicycle projects. Lots of patina (rust?). Old bicycle lanterns and flashlights. Some collectibles and car accessories. Thanks for sharing the map! Jon

It’s an auto meet, but many bicycles and parts always show up! I’ll be in CC-43, CC-44,& CC-45. Looking forward to seeing all the CABE friends again.

A “Ready Made Work of Art”…this is a sculpture. Did the genius that assembled this sign it?

Yes, 6 rounds of chemo, 4 operations, 20 radiation treatments, 6 BCG installation at Stanford Medical. I found out yesterday I’m cancer free! Now I’m fighting the VA over my Agent Orange exposure.

Cancer has left me with peripheral neuropathy and the loss of feeling in my fingers tips. I just noticed that I have not even tried to attach the badges to my last three bicycle projects? Let the buyer do it!

Just add a rubber ball horn?

My childhood Schwinn was a 24” coach green with no extras! So when I started collecting an early coach green Phantom rider was a “personal” choice! I’ve kept the old parts but have mixed in the ‘95 easy to find replacements and a 2-speed Bendex. It’s an easy rider and a conversation starter.

Just finished talking with Tyler about our spaces and I will be bringing a complete Schwinn DX, DX frame, Schwinn cantilever frame, Prewar/Postwar parts. I will also have 1990 Cannondale complete road bike, rims and assorted parts.

I have a Mead with a similar serial number placement and bottom bracket. The rear fender mount may be like my third picture?

Still never ridden and the tank is not a decal!

I just finished chemo at Stanford in Palo Alto, California and it works(Stage 3 to Stage 0)! I worked on bicycle projects, when I could. There were good days and bad and I just threw the clock out the door and worked through the night if I felt well. My prayers are with you. Stay safe, Jon

Nothing will keep me from this one! The best in the west! You will find what you’re looking for and sell your bicycles and collectibles at a fair price!

My Electra “Street Rod” is my go-to beach ride. The central coast of California has a mix of flat to hilly terrain and this 5-speed just makes it fun. At 25 years old a little oil and air for the original tires is all that it has needed!

A bicycle that “shows” its own historical sign language! Great story to share now and into the future!

Out of sight attic clutter, but I can find a 1950’s Schwinn cable clip if I need it!

I’m going through medical issues and won’t know until the last minute if I can make it to your swap meet. My son says he will drive me if there will be a selling space available. This meet looks like it’s going to be “epic”! I need just a 10’x10’ pop up space and parking for my Silverado, can...

Just a bunch of parts and frames. The DX is modified for a Whizzer motor. The “Phantom frame?” is a 1952 which takes an early badge. The girl’s is “Pink!”, but has some good stuff still left. The delta “shell” is perfect.

“Got a flat?” 1919 repair kit.

Is my pre war Schwinn a “Z” bicycle? The bicycle only has badge wholes for a horizontal mounted badge.

This saddle was on my Racycle when I found it. I’m looking for a catalog picture so that I can name and date it. Would it be appropriate for my Racycle? Thank you ahead for your time.

Estate sale find I can’t believe! This DX is just missing original hand grips? (1950 Schwinn)

Patric, Mine is brass. Is it an earlier or later version? Jon

Thank you to all! Had a great time, good people, food, sales and a great Marin bicycle museum. See you next year. Jon

Yosemite and my parents 1940’s, all Schwinns!

My first swap meet, (Long Beach, California), I thought I was going to be a bicycle collector/seller when I sold a $25 thrift store bicycle for $700! It was a rusty old bicycle but it was the smoothest shifting ride I ever rode. That bicycle was a 1934 Colson Hi-Lo 26” ballon two speed...

Would not take if free.

Got my space! I’ll be bring vintage Schwinn and Campagnolo parts. A couple of bikes that are more part bikes than complete.

Parts from the Hooligan’s swap. But the “best part” was the conversations with the sellers! Great group of guys.

I wish I would have had a space. But, I was able to pick some good parts. Thanks Hooligans!

These bicycles are what dreams are made of…

Do you know of other “y” frame springer 1938 Roadmaster Supremes?

You might check with JAF/CO, he had some of these a couple of years ago. I bought one from him on the secondary market. It was the last part I needed.

I go to a lot of garage and estate sales and always ask if there’s any bicycles even if they’re aren’t any for sale. I’ve been tapped on my back by an old man that said “I have some rusty junk”, to an owner of one barn sale saying “l have a POS in the pump house”. Always ask out loud and follow...

Auto Swap meets have been my biggest scores.

Green, green, and green!

Jesse, This is the badge you wrote about and is one of my favorite. Jon
