Sunday's Show and Tell... 10/9/22

[rollfaster]

Heres my find, an old Empire. Comments please to help date it. My research shows it was made by Westfield, the serial number dates it late 40s but the frame looks older than that? and the crank looks like it may have been changed. It is repainted, has 26" chrome metal rims Thanks for any help. Happy Sunday and have a good week.

I didn't find this but my buddy did, a Speedwell bike in the trash, this is the only pic he sent me. Starting to load my trailer for a fall consignment auction.

I got a chance to mount some glass reflectors on the racks of my '49s. The blue got one for the front as well. I also have to thank @Andy FitzGibbon and his dads bike for these kiiiiiler looooong pull wide bars, a perfect set for my '46 Traveler.

Happy Sunday. I got a couple this week. A Ritchey, a Tim Hortons bike ( it’s Canadian thing ) and some springy kids shoes that I might let the grand kids try out. I do not know the model of the Ritchey, I am thinking it is an 88 or 89. The Ritchy is a keeper ( needs some work ). The Hortons will go down the road. Thanks

A wee-bit of traveling music arrived this week along with some G519 grips beautifully made by a gentleman in Ohio (Kevin Carroll on Facebook). A huge thanks to Shawn Sweeney for this stem I desperately needed for my Jonas Knoll Spring Frame bicycle. Hopefully that bicycle project will come to a close this week or next as the final machining is being done on the proprietary seat clamp/clamp parts.

For the gallery, I scored this pair of early Creek Native American moccasins. They date to the 1820’s +/- and are in the top fives pairs I have ever owned. The Ebay seller insisted they were Seneca, it seems an instant “internet expert” is born every minute. His arrogance cost him money.

Picked up a chain guard, saddle and some other small parts and pieces. Also found a ‘68 frame with an ‘82 Sidewinder fork. Couldn’t wait to build it, so added some parts and put it together yesterday.

Cobalt blue 1937 Henderson, destined for the swap meet pile.

I don't usually buy Scwinns, but this one seemed cool.
