[Shawn Michael]

Good morning everyone..I was fortunate enough to find these two bikes..a 41? Western Flyer and a..I want to say a 35? serial # J4617, Winchester badged Rollfast..The man stated that his father in law was a "collector" and didint throw anything away..
So I picked up some other cool stuff!
The highlights were ;An Aurora Thunderjet track/cars , a BOX of 76 golden age comics(99% "funny animal, western, etc) old Freemasons pieces,
AND,his wife said"My husband said you like old Halloween things!?!" And handed me a box full of stuff,MOSTLY masks!!!

That pirate stuff is great. You have a lot of fun costumes for riding in now.

working on these crusty old bikes I was always thinking it would be good to have some crank/pedal taps to clean up the threads. I stripped some crank threads getting a bike ready to sell so I figured it was time to buy a set. should have bought some long ago.

Picked this up from @63caddy and started to scrub it up yesterday

 

[49autocycledeluxe]

bought some parts a while back that included a Schwinn Straight bar frame that was sandblasted and primed 30 years ago before OG paint became the best way to put a bike together so I bought some stencils to paint it. I found satin maroon and creme spray bombs at WalMart so that is the plan. fender stencils are in the mail. I haven't painted a bike since the 80's should be fun.

Another good week for cool stuff. I bought a boxed Japanese tin Ichiko toy ambulance off Ebay from Holland. I have owned this before and the detail/design/charm keeps me coming back. This was produced for Sweden specifically with opaque (not seen thru) rear/side windows to minimize the gore of the passenger in back? It still has a bright litho'd interior, rear opening window, and a red beacon on top and red plastic tail lights that light up as it sirens along the ground.

After my Batcrazy stage lately I got ( another horn/light combo still coming in the mail courtesy of @mrg ) a decent handle bar mount Sears Higgins Batwing Scott @sm2501 snagged for me ( bracket clamps from @easyrider ) and I did my detail/resto work on it to match one on my Higgins Colorflow. If you tuned into my "same Bat channel/same Bat time" post the other day, you've seen it, or "what bike did you ride today". I did the oxalic acid dip to remove some rust, WD/steel wool, emery, and then a quick prime and rattle can. I'm happy with it, & bet @vincev is Bat/Butt ugly jealous? Ha!

My Sturmey Archer front drum brake ( also posted in "what bike rode today" from @ballooney) came in the mail and I completed what should have been factory opted on my '49 CCM with factory S/A trigger 3 spd/rear drum. Now I can kinda stop. I got a nice lightly used boxed S/W speedo & drive from @JimScott I'll probably use to upgrade the one on my Huffy Radiobike.

Above all, my hats off to all the veterans of the many nations that fought to make our countries free. My country Canada along with the U.S.A (and others). were instrumental in defending and maintaining the life we enjoy. A salute (respectfully as a civilian) of thanks to the American Memorial day Monday. Thanks for your past and on going military service and all the volunteers and supporting industry.
