Another bike looking for a new lease on life. This one would be kinda cool just greased up, new tires and on the road. Kind of a ghost bike. Very cool patina. Bike is very solid and complete. $150. This would be best picked up as I don't want to be responsible for broken fasteners from...

Here is a post war CWC skip tooth 26" project bike. Straight and solid. Good working blackout hubs. Original color was deep maroon as you can see in the rims and under the blue paint. Assemble and ride as is or an excellent restoration candidate. What you see in the pictures is what you get...

1956 Schwinn Wasp 26" ladies bike. All original other than front rim which is painted rather than chrome. Tires look to be original but are not salvageable. Original paint should shine up reasonably well. Bike is in good working condition-just needs tires, seat cover and some TLC to be a great...

Thanks so much!!! Hiawatha, I can sleep now! It does make sense as Gambles was THE store around here.

I picked up this tank with both fenders, light and rack at a sale the other day. I'm going crazy because I can't place the decal. What are these from? They look to be early 50's CWC but what badge?? I won't be able to sleep until I know!!

Here is a nice Murry Meteor Flite That was part of a small collection that I picked up over the fall. I am selling off a few bikes that I don't have storage space for. This is a nice solid great riding bike that was professionally repainted a few years back. The paint quality is really good, the...

The frame is unfortunate. Is the 1/2 pitch original to the bike?

Thanks for the thoughts!

I picked up a few prewar bikes today and this was in the group. I am thinking that this is a 1920's Westfield? It has no badge but the holes are vertical. It is rough, the down tube is tweaked. Is it worth saving or is it a bunch of parts? Thanks for any input!

Thanks Johan!

How do I know if my rims are correct for this bike? Also-what size nipples and spokes? Thanks for any words of wisdom.
